Elvis is the origin of cool, the cornerstone of pop music. His meteoric career turned a nation on its head and brought a generation crashing to its knees. Now, 25 years after his death, Jeremy Reed resurrects the star and relives the dream.
From the snaky-hipped sex-god from Memphis to the junk-addicted self-destructive loner 'Heartbreak Hotel' unravels the myth that is Elvis.
This deeply empathetic and brilliantly evocative biography of Elvis in verse has to be read to be believed. It charts the Elvis tragedy from sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll to flash living and gruesome dying. It is a cult masterpiece that will, quite simply, blow you away.
