I said to the audience that I’m having a new book of poetry out soon and I’m going to write on it “not to be taught in schools” because I wanted to be radical. I just let him do it because I didn’t want him to hang out on the streets.
But I’ll tell you a little story – once upon a time, there was this boy that was playing truant and he was following me around when I was doing performances in libraries. My mother at home was telling me stories of Jamaica and Jamaican characters and in school I’m being told about all these characters who seem to live in a different world. I didn’t know any – and that was one of the reasons why I wasn’t really that interested. I’m nearly a hundred years old now and I’m still catching up on my reading I should have done when I was a child!ĭue to the time that you were young we’re guessing there weren’t many black authors or non white characters in books? How did that feel? It’s really sad, I think, because when you’re young you have so much time to read books. But when I started to read for myself my favourite was A Book Of Nonsense by Mervyn Peake – I loved the way he told a story through rhyme and that was one of my favourite books but I came to it when I was much older. The Bible was the only book in our house. Um, you know, if my dad saw me reading a book or trying to read a book, he would say, “you got nothing to do?” and he’d find me something to do. Well, I’m sounding really negative, aren’t I? But in my house there were no books. Dimensions: 9.00in - 6.00in - 1.44in - 2.Watch a video of this interview in action!

Like at all.įollow Arnold on his hilarious journey as he stubbornly comes to grips with his new reality and tries to change his destiny from that of your typical farmer. There is just one small problem: farmers don't gain experience from killing monsters. Now stuck on a new earth, in a new universe, with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to figure out how to level his farmer class to 100 and gain a second class which doesn't make him want to beat his head against the wall.
That standard procedure doesn't apply to Arnold.
It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you. He's certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. What do you have when you blend a pinch of litrpg, a touch of farming simulator, a sprinkle of epic fantasy, a whole cup of Isekai, and a dash of Home Alone?Īccidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin.
