'For a dead man, Elvis Presley is awfully noisy. His body may have failed him in 1977, but today his spirit, his image, and his myths do more than live on: they flourish, they thrive, they multiply.' Why is Elvis Presley so ubiquitous a presence in US culture? Why does he continue to enjoy a cultural prominence that would be the envy of the most heavily publicized living celebrities? In Elvis after Elvis Gil Rodman traces the myriad manifestations of The King in popular and not-so-popular culture. He asks why Elvis continues to defy our expectations of how dead stars are supposed to behave: Elvis not only refuses to go away, he keeps showing up in places where he seemingly doesn't belong. Rodman draws upon an extensive and eclectic body of Elvis 'sightings', from Elvis's appearances at the heart of the 1992 Presidential campaign to the debate over his worthiness as a subject for a postage stamp, and from Elvis's central role in furious debates about racism and the appropriation of African-American music to the world of Elvis impersonators and the importance of Graceland as a place of pilgrimage for Elvis fans and followers. Rodman shows how Elvis has become inseparable from many of the defining myths of US culture, enmeshed with the American dream and the very idea of the 'United States', caught up in debates about race, gender and sexuality and in the wars over what constitutes a national culture.

"August 16, 1977: It was like a shot heard 'round the world -- the tragic news that Elvis Presley had died. Millions mourned the loss of Elvis as acutely as if grieving for a member of their own family or a dear friend. Even now, a decade later, people who were never Elvis fans have 'flashbulb memories' of where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. Why, Dr. Raymond Moody wanted to know when he began researching Elvis After Life, did the news of a forty-two-year-old rock 'n' roll star's death in Memphis, Tennessee, have such a profound impact on millions of lives? His subjects were diverse -- young and old, truck drivers and psychologists, ardent Elvis fans and those who had little interest in him -- but they all had one thing in common. Each had a psychic experience involving Elvis Presley that changed their lives forever. Dr. Moody introduces readers to a middle-aged police officer who finds his run-away son using information conveyed to him in a dream -- by Elvis Presley. To young parents who could accept their ten-year-old daughter's death because the spirit of Elvis was there to welcome her into heaven. To a young divorcee, terrified of being alone for the birth of her third child, who finds comfort and joy in Elvis's presence in the delivery room. These experiences -- plus numerous others -- happened to people that Dr. Moody describes as functioning and psychologically normal, people with little or no interest in the paranormal. Not one of them ever questioned the reality of the experience; they questioned only why Elvis chose to communicate with them. Elvis After Life is a provocative book by a respected doctor and author, a book that will linger in reader's minds just as the legend of Elvis Presley lives on in the American psyche."--front and back flaps.
