Elvis Is Dead and I Don't Feel So Good Myself

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the transformative 1950s, the narrative captures Lewis Grizzard's nostalgic childhood filled with innocent adventures and simple pleasures, such as savoring Zagnut candy bars. However, as societal upheavals emerge—marked by assassinations, war, and civil rights movements—Grizzard grapples with feelings of confusion and loss. The carefree days of idolizing Elvis give way to a new generation of artists, leaving him to navigate a world that feels increasingly foreign and complex.
