[Joseph · Rating 5 out of 5]

Despite or perhaps because of its rather homespun quality, this book gives a vivid portrait of Elvis’s childhood in East Tupelo and makes palpable the many ways in which it shaped his later art. Rich in detail, deeply invested in conveying what it was like to grow up in Mississippi in the midst of the Depression, this is essential reading for anyone interested in tracing the origins of the most important cultural figure of the twentieth century. For the true fan or scholar, obviously, but so good.
