n e w b o o k: elvis never was in acapulco

 

Elvis Never Was in Acapulco documents the fictitious presence of Elvis Presley in Acapulco. In its pages, Adam Wiseman tells a story as outrageous as it is true: the King’s failed trip to Mexico. 

Its images combine traces of the Golden Age of the port city with characters from its past and present. 

Accompanied by a brief narrative, it intertwines layers of truth and fiction within a cultural context marked by racism and corruption. The result is a tale full of intrigue, yet not without humor and beauty. 

Elvis Never Was in Acapulco is a truth built on multiple fictions.
