Neverland by Simon Crump
I once had an idea to write a book with the proposition that Elvis had survived his heart attack on the toilet, had a transplant, made a monumental comeback at Live Aid and later discovered that Lisa Marie was about to marry Michael Jackson; Elvis and his guys then declared war on Neverland. After reading Simon Crump, I understand that I wasn’t even in the ball-park. Following his gloriously insane My Elvis Blackout, he imagines a world in which Wacko is, in a series of inter-connected stories, prospecting for gold in the Klondike, alive, dead, buying a unicorn on e-bay, hanging out with Uri Geller and Bubbles, and, yes, is married to Lisa Marie. And it’s mostly narrated by Lamar Fike, one of Elvis’s guys, who has emerged from a long coma to work for Michael. A book that stays with you.
Jon is dead right though..it’s a really great book and an ideal Christmas present.
