“Funny, enthralling, and uncommonly clever.” –Carl Hiaasen, Washington Post Book World
“Complex, amusing and palpably symbolic.”–The New York Times Book Review“
“A raucous tale of literary fear and loathing.”–San Francisco Chronicle
“A rollicking and rocking version of what George Plimpton did so brilliantly: walk a mile in fantasy shoes…
–Publishers Weekly
“Henderson’s great achievement is to convey, in elequantly droll prose, what it’s like to imagine being a great performer– ‘the Elvis equivalent of flying dreams.”
–Kirkus Reviews
“Henderson pulls off the hat trick: a breezy, highly readable charcter study, an indelible modern fable set in the kingdom of the Idol Rich, and a titillatingly oblique consideration of The Pelvis himself. There is dark fun to be had in Stark Raving Elvis, and Henderson has it. This is a nifty, aptly titled read.”
