That’s true. [Laughs] I hadn’t thought about the potential guilt involved. Just prominent readers. TR: Timothy Leary told me that when he was in Folsom Prison — he had never heard of me, at the time — Sonny Barger, who was the president of the California Hell’s Angels came up to him and handed him Another Roadside Attraction and said: [he speaks in a gruff tone befitting an Angels president] Read this. It’s the Angels’ favorite book.For a long time I thought: Well, if I’ve got Elvis and the Hell’s Angels on my side, who cares about The New York Review of Books.

I’ve read that when Elvis was found dead, he had a copy of Another Roadside Attraction next to him. Have you heard that?
TR: Yeah. It didn’t actually mention Another Roadside Attraction. In one of the books that was written by one of his entourage — one of the members of the Memphis mafia — this fellow — and I don’t know what his function was in Elvis’ life — said that Elvis was in bed with this woman. Not Priscilla. Got up in the middle of the night and said: I’m gonna go take a read. And went to the bathroom. And when he was found, the book beside him on the bathroom floor was a book about the discovery of the mummified body of Christ in the Vatican. Well, I don’t know of any other novels about the discovery of the mummified body of Christ in the Vatican, so it stood to reason that it was Another Roadside Attraction. However, just recently someone pointed out to me that in what is now regarded as the definitive biography of Elvis, by a real investigator and a real writer, the book Elvis was reading was a book about the sexual positions that correspond to various astrological signs. The various signs of the zodiac. So that was a great relief to me, if it’s true. Because now I no longer have to feel guilty about perhaps killing Elvis.
