Advanced Elvis Course
CACONRAD

Part psychedelic road-trip, part religious devotional, Advanced Elvis Course is an account of Conrad’s pilgrimage to Memphis due to his unabated love of the King. Blurring the distinction between real and fictional experience, Conrad creates a transcendental portrait of the legendary Elvis through a blend of graffiti, talk-show interviews, and poetry, and forms a prismatic, vibrant portrait of fandom.
