A collection of stories and poems about Elvis features the writing of Alice Walker, Greil Marcus, Nick Cave, Mark Childress, Diane Wakoski, Janice Eidus, Pagan Kennedy, Howard Waldrop, and others. Original. 25,000 first printing.
Not a great collection of stories or poems. One or two excellent pieces, whilst most were mediocre. Just "mentioning Elvis" in a story isn't enough to constitute a place in the book. Interesting to start off with 'Tupelo' by Nick Cave... makes it appear that it'll be more irreverant and interesting than it actually is.
