Elvis Is Out There is a fast, funny novel that embraces the
historical importance of Memphis music, as well as stringing
together a series of improbable Elvis sightings. Franz Douskey
lived in Memphis in the early 1960s, and spent much time with Sam
C. Phillips, founder of Sun Records and discoverer of Howlin' Wolf,
Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley.
Douskey also spent time with lesser known musicians, some of whom
appear in Elvis Is Out There. The idea for his book came during a
serious backstage conversation with Merle Haggard in 1982. Merle
had attended Elvis's funeral at Graceland and swears to this day
that wasn't Elvis in the coffin. If you can't believe Merle
Haggard, who can you believe? So Elvis Is Out There begins. Elvis
is alive and out there. The details about the history and music on
Memphis are the authentic view of the man who lived there.
