“Funny . . . [Barrowcliffe’s] gently knowing style makes the pain of identification a pleasure.”— Entertainment Weekly “Mark Barrowcliffe’s humorous, self-deprecating memoir of his misspent youth, ‘The Elfish Gene,’ is another welcome addition to the growing ‘nerdsploitation’ genre.”—Associated Press “Hilarious, unbelievably well-remembered . . . begs a movie adaptation. . . . Barrowcliffe writes . . . with uncommon insight.”— The Seattle Times “In the best tradition of British humor. . . . Laugh-out-loud funny.”— The Christian Science Monitor “Wonderfully captures the insensitivity, insecurity and selfishness of the adolescent male.”— Publishers Weekly , starred review In the summer of 1976, twelve-year-old Mark Barrowcliffe had a chance to be normal. He blew it. While other teenagers were being coolly rebellious, Mark—and twenty million other boys in the 1970s and ’80s—chose to spend his adolescence pretending to be a warrior, an evil priest, or a dwarf. He had discovered Dungeons & Dragons, and his life would never be the same. No longer would he have to settle for being Mark Barrowcliffe, an ordinary awkward teenager from working-class Coventry, England; he could be Alf the Elf, Foghat the Gnome, or Effilc Worrab, an elven warrior with the head of a mule. This is an hilarious memoir of an adolescence spent entirely in the world of fantasy. Mark Barrowcliffe worked as a journalist and a stand-up comedian before writing his first hit novel, Girlfriend 44 . He has written two other acclaimed comic novels, Lucky Dog and Infidelity for First-Time Fathers . He now lives in Brighton, England.

本來以為是洗具，沒想到越讀越沉重枯燥枯燥，加之對遊戲的態度和作者不兼容覺得讀起來不怎麼愉快。看看停停居然花瞭半年纔看完……不過和這種書較真我擔心我是不是也該電療一下瞭……唉
