About this title: It's the 1950s, and Orson is a young boy living on a U.S. Army base in Germany. Orson's dreary army-brat life takes an unexpectedly delightful turn when he manages to befriend his idol, rock and roll star Elvis Presley, who is stationed at the base. Years pass: Elvis grows ever more decadent and bizarre; and Orson tunes in, turns on, and drops out. But, against the backdrop of cultural upheaval, the unlikely friendship persists.

"Only Buckley could write a novel of this depth about a popular figure such as Elvis. This is a moving story, principally about Elvis and a young boy whom he befriends and remains close to his entire life. As Elvis's life unravels, the sanity of his freind's life becomes a touchstone of normality that throws Evis' life into tragic relief. Buckley is greatly underrated as a novelist, and this book is one of his best. Highly Recommended"
