- Summary
- The author looks at the public's obsession with Elvis after his death. He grafts together fragments of the eclectic dialogue--snatches of movies and music, books and newspapers, photographs, posters, cartoons--and shows not only what America has been saying as it raises its late king, but also what this strange obsession with a dead Elvis can tell us about America itself.
