In the Rodin room at the Met (the one with the Munch Vampire), there's an "Orpheus & Euridice" sculpture that is Elvis Presley. I swear it. This should be required reading in some class somewhere, along with Careless Love, the second volume. Even if you don't like non-fiction, this is more important than any other 20th century American History textbook, except maybe Ellison's Invisible Man and Catch-22.
