Résumé

Written with grace, humour, and affection, Last Train to Memphis has been hailed as the definitive biography of Elvis Presley 'Elvis steps from the pages. You can feel him breathe' BOB DYLAN'Wonderful' RODDY DOYLE'Soars above all other accounts of Elvis' Guardian'A triumph of biographical art... profound and moving' New York TimesLast Train to Memphis is arguably the first serious biography that refuses to dwell on the myth of Elvis.
Aiming instead to portray in vivid, dramatic terms the life and career of this outstanding artistic and cultural phenomenon, it draws together a plethora of documentary and interview material to create a superbly coherent and plausible narrative. The first of two volumes, covering Presley's rise to prominence up to his departure for Germany in 1958, Last Train to Memphis is undoubtedly the benchmark by which other biographies of him are judged.
