Synopsis
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.

Publisher's Note
Orson is a young boy whose mother works at a U.S. Army base in Germany in the 1950s. There, he becomes a fan of a G.I. stationed at the base, one Elvis Presley, whose music is played over and over on the radio. When Orson is caught stealing recordings of Elvis's tunes from the PX, the attendant publicity catches the star's attention, and he comes to visit his young fan. Thus begins a lifelong friendship. As Elvis's career rockets ever higher and his behavior becomes ever more erratic, the two share many adventures. The sixties explode, and Elvis becomes the icon of the nation, while Orson, a college demonstrator, drifts away from regular life while looking for something of substance to believe in. Each man is an emblem of his time, as social conventions crumble, barriers fall, and the cultural landscape changes forever. A panorama of change and dissent, of the ability of friends to stay true despite distance and time, Elvis in the Morning portrays a nation in change and the effects of celebrity on innocence.

Industry reviews
"ELVIS IN THE MORNING...is one of the more amiable of Mr. Buckley's 40-odd books, for anyone who can get past its utter lack of rock 'n' roll rhythm."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (07/12/2001)
