Book description
Combining the wistfulness of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" with the social criticism of Sloan Wilson's The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, Brewster Milton Robertson disdains convention with his new novel. Wryly introspective yet bawdy and delightfully erotic and set against the backdrop of nonpareil elegance at the renowned Greenbrier resort A Posturing of Fools introduces hopelessly corruptible Heneley Logan Baird, a testosterone-fueled postmodern Tom Jones, and recounts the crucible experiences of a disillusioned young husband forced to ask disquieting questions about the important values in his life.

Book description
Elvis died in 1977, or did he? In 1982 an Elvis impersonator clumsily robs a bank, and incredibly all of the evidence points to the supposedly deceased Elvis as being the robber. A detective hot on the trail of the robber is convinced that he is chasing Elvis, but is killed in an accidental car crash near Moscow, Tennessee, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter. Twenty years later, the daughter is a tabloid reporter for Weird Magazine, a shameless, check-out counter rag. She is assigned to cover an Elvis Festival in Moscow, discovers her father’s notes, and quickly stumbles onto the Elvis-robber’s trail. What she discovers in rural Tennessee just may be the news story of the young century.
