“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.
