In Search of Elvis

£12.99

Charlie Connelly, author of the hugely successful Attention All Shipping, sets off on a journey to discover what maintains Elvis’ significance in today’s world, three decades since his death.

He travels to Finland to meet a kilt-wearing academic who sings Elvis numbers in long-dead languages, to Canada to see the orthodox Jewish Elvis tribute act - Schmelvis - and to Tashkent to sing on live television with Uzbekistan’s biggest pop star and Elvis fan. And, of course, he journeys to Elvis’ homeland, to Tupelo, Mississippi, and to Memphis, where he stays in Heartbreak Hotel, just at the end of Lonely Street.

The author’s admiration and enthusiasm ensure that the book is a delight to all, Elvis aficionado or not.
