Elvis & Presley
- Robert Huber and Stephan Vanfleteren
- From the Publisher ''The King is Alive!''...The journey of the photographers Robert Huber and Stephan
Vanfleteren began in New York somewhere along 42nd street. It ended three weeks and eleven states later in Death Valley. Everything the two artists did during their journey, they did dressed as Elvis Presley,
the King of Rock'n'Roll. The artists photographed each other, with Presley (Vanfleteren) in black and white, and Elvis (Huber) in color. ''Elvis'' and
''Presley'' crossed the country riding Greyhound buses and subways, hitch-hiking, strolling through malls or ending up in small town bars where
strange women embraced them. While as photojournalists they were accustomed to remaining behind the scenes, here Huber and Vanfleteren
found themselves suddenly thrust into the spotlight of their own work. What emerges is a hyperreal road movie, a media-damaged update of
Robert Frank's "The Americans ", in which two Europeans step into the boundless television screen that is
America.

Presley, Richard Nixon and The American Dream -
Connie Kirchberg
and Marc Hendrickx - This book compares the lives of two American icons, paralleling their climbs from poverty to fame, money, and power that may have peaked at
the point of their meeting in 1970. Kirchberg and Hendrickx, both writers specializing in American biographies, also contrast the ways that the
two men handled their power, both experiencing a fall from grace, but whereas Nixon rebounded to become a respected statesman, Presley

William McCranor Henderson - From the Publisher
- What happens when a middle-aged novelist and professor, a devoted husband and father, trades his chinos and oxfords for a bejeweled jumpsuit?
Despite the suspicious minds of his family and friends, William McCranor Henderson can't help falling in love with the life of an Elvis impersonator,
a world where Memphis is Mecca, Graceland is the Vatican, and Vegas is Heaven. An inspiring, funny, surprising chronicle of one man's quest to
be King, I, Elvis reveals ... the moves, from the body palsy to the shaky leg ... the difference between hillbilly Elvis and religious Elvis ... how to
spot an Elvisoid, i.e., a fake, non-performing impersonator ... the importance of hiring an authentic-looking bodyguard-cum-scarf man ... the
sneers and taunts of "the clown factor" ... the awesome responsibility of "the savior factor ... how to cultivate an I'm-not-Elvis brand of humility ...
and the never-ending search for white shoes.
I, Elvis.

That's All Right, Mama
- Gerald Duff -From the Critics From Publisher's Weekly - Publishers Weekly - Serious literary fiction about Elvis? You bet! Duff's (Graveyard Working) transcendent prose swings and sways, whoops and moans in pulsating
cadences reminiscent of the King. The hilariously pedantic introduction is a setup for the ``manuscript'' that follows: the wry, gritty and profoundly
moving autobiography of Elvis's identical twin brother, who allegedly died at birth. Jesse Garon Presley relates how, from his earliest childhood,
half-crazy mother Gladys lavished all her attention and affection on Elvis. Brought up as Elvis's ``cousin'' (although Mama calls on Jesse to stand
in for his twin from time to time), Jesse is left to his own devices-tinkering with cars and, later, hanging out in juke joints in Memphis and nearby
Alabama. Jesse tells how it was he, not Elvis, who made the first recording at Sun
Studio, and how, much the better dancer, he doubled for the burned-out ``Bubba'' on the Ed Sullivan Show and in the performance of the title song in Jailhouse Rock. Although he hides from Elvis for years at
a time, Jesse can't keep from filling in for him-even as a husband to Priscilla-when asked. The ultimate irony is that, after his famous twin dies,
Jesse is still not free to be himself: he ends up as an Elvis impersonator. A rich and well-realized tale, even for readers to whom August 16
(Elvis's death date) is just another day. (Aug.)
