Last Train To Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley

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 Times

Last Train to Memphis is arguably the first serious biography that refuses to dwell on the myth of Elvis. Instead, it aims to portray, in vivid and dramatic terms, the life and career of this outstanding artistic and cultural phenomenon.

Key Highlights:

• Draws together a plethora of documentary and interview material.
• Creates a superbly coherent and plausible narrative.
• Covers Presley's rise to prominence up to his departure for Germany in 1958.

This is the first of two volumes and is undoubtedly the benchmark by which other biographies of him are judged.
