There’s no mention of sequins, drugs, or peanut butter in this understated biography of the teenaged Elvis, a serious and worthy attempt to answer the question, “Who was this guy before he was an icon, the voice of a generation, the King?” The essential clarity and honesty of Guralnick’s prose clearly limns the eager, malleable boy whose immense talent changed the course of American music.
Vol. one of Guralnick’s exhaustive, two-volume biography details the King’s first 24 years, leaving off when his rise is interrupted by his being drafted into the army.
