The King Is Dead...Bei Katco Media erschien am 17.08.2004 das Buch "The King Is Dead..." mit neuem Cover. Das Buch stammt von Robert R. Holton, erschien erstmals 1998 und ist limitiert.
Und hier die Ankündigung vom Verlag:
"'The King Is Dead' by Robert Holton details the minute-by-minute play of the Funeral of Elvis Aaron Presley.
Memphis Funeral Director Robert Kendall was the last man on the face of the Earth to see the body of Elvis Aaron Presley following his sudden and unexpected death in August 1977. Now, for the first time, you will read about the intimate details of the burial of Elvis Presley and what Kendall went through to pay the final tribute to Elvis.
Some have accused Holton and Katco of presenting a morbid and disturbing tale of history's most famous funeral. But, these critics have obviously never read this book. 'The King Is Dead' is NEVER disturbing; NEVER mobid. Instead, it is a touching, heart-warming story of how the world said goodbye to a rock and roll legend."

ISBN: 0887484034Dieses von Fleda Brown geschriebene 66 Seiten starke Buch erschien am 01.04.2004 bei " Carnegie-Mellon University Press" und der Verlag kündigt es wie folgt an:
“What a remarkable collection! Fleda Brown has turned obsession into a series of finely wrought evocations of a period. She knows her music, and she knows that her early stirrings in relation to it were emblematic of a nation’s. There’s consistently high quality of phrasing in this book, and an astute framing of effects. Which is to say Fleda Brown has been able to raise popular culture into art like few others before her.”
--Stephen Dunn
“You think the fat women who cried didn’t know/what they cried for, when he died?” asks Fleda Brown in this spirit-lamp of a book that filters our “irreconcilable urges” through an iconography that renews, once again, America’s promise. As much about the mysteries of the creative process, its “private language,” and the rigors of self-discipline as about Elvis himself, The Women Who Loved Elvis All Their Lives accomplishes something original, perfect in its moment, that triggers, as if by accident, an “astonished whoop.” If Elvis lives anywhere these days, he surely lives in these seductive pages.”
--Michael Waters
“This is one of the best accounts I’ve ever read of what obsession with our idols can reveal to us about ourselves. The consciousness at the center of these subtle, intricate poems glides so smoothly from one point of view to another—from Elvis and his mother visiting his father in prison, to a fan and her teenage daughter, to a dead Elvis trying to “break through to flesh” by lifting weights—that the border between one person and another blurs. Brown’s poems show compellingly how the Other becomes a mirror in which we can reconsider our own lives and then return to them transformed.” --Sharon Bryan
