As Greil Marcus shows in this remarkable book, Presley's journey after death takes him even further, pushing him beyond his own frontiers to merge with the American public consciousness--and the American subconscious. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs he listens in on the public conversation that recreates Elvis after death, Marcus tracks the path of Presley's resurrection. He grafts together scattered fragments of the eclectic dialogue--snatches of movies and music, books and newspapers, photographs, posters, cartoons--and amazes us with 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greil Marcus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.99w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674194229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarcus, Greil:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Greil Marcus is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Doors\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMystery Train\u003c\/i\u003e, and other books.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40265551249523,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_703cd3a2-fedb-4d6e-b6a9-65620c0d2912.jpg?v=1657720684","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/dead-elvis-a-chronicle-of-a-cultural-obsession-9780674194229","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
