Dead Elvis: A Chronicle of a Cultural Obsession
Greil Marcus
Listening in on public conversation that recreates Elvis after death, Marcus tracks Presley’s resurrection. He grafts together snatches of film, music, books, newspapers, photos, posters, and cartoons, and amazes us with what America has been saying as it raises its late king—and also what this obsession with dead Elvis says about America itself.
