内容简介

A vibrant, sympathetic portrait of the once and future king of rock ’n’ roll by the award-winning author of Shiloh and In Country

To this clear-eyed portrait of the first rock ’n’ roll superstar, Bobbie Ann Mason brings a novelist’s insight and the empathy of a fellow Southerner who, from the first time she heard his voice on the family radio, knew that Elvis was "one of us." Elvis Presley deftly braids the mythic and human aspects of his story, capturing both the charismatic, boundary-breaking singer who reveled in his celebrity and the soft-spoken, working-class Southern boy who was fatally unprepared for his success. The result is a riveting, tragic book that goes to the heart of the American dream.
