Elf Girl Author:Rev Jen From the acclaimed author of Live Nude Elf, Rev Jen recounts her rise from art school misfit to "patron saint of the uncool" in this wry, irreverent memoir.

She counts among her accomplishments being creator and host of "Anti-Slam," an open-mike series where everyone gets a perfect ten (which The Village Voice calls "performance meets cry for help"), and working as a Christmas Elf at Bloomingdales. Now, this anti- Sex and the City girl and cheerleader for nonconformists, geeks, and oddballs of the world delivers a funnier, quirkier version of I Was Told There'd Be Cake or The Idiot Girls? Action-Adventure Club . She?s zany, eccentric, and hopeful, and her unchecked candor makes her impossible not to love, as she recounts various tales from her colorful life.

Featuring an Introduction by Bored to Death creator Jonathan Ames, who even based a character on Rev Jen (elf ears and all!) in the HBO hit show?s second season, this is an anthem for dorky girls everywhere?a sharply observant and entertaining memoir.« less
