Black Elvis (Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction)
Intriguing portraits of failed musicians and bad decisionmakers
I really enjoyed Geoffrey Becker's novels - and Bluestown - so I was looking forward to this collection, particularly after having read a couple of the stories that appear here in literary magazines (\"Another Coyote Story\" in Crazyhorse and \"Black Days\" in the New England Review.

Enjoyable yet thought-provoking short stories
If you are a fan of Salinger's \"Nine Stories,\" then you will certainly enjoy the quirky and sometimes dark humor of Geoffrey Becker's \"Black Elvis,\" a collection of stories which draws on the author's own experiences of life in the music and academic worlds.
