Description

Tav Falco's sprawling study of Memphis explores the city's complex and often brutal history, from the Civil War to the present day. This book delves into the darker side of the city, tracing the legends of Reconstruction-era Memphis to its modern-day underworld. Falco's own experiences in Memphis are woven throughout the narrative, including his involvement with performance art ensemble Insect Trust and his work with influential musicians such as Alex Chilton. The book also features over 80 illuminating photographs, mostly previously unseen originals by Falco. Ghosts Behind the Sun Splendor, Enigma & Death is Volume One of Mondo Memphis, a dual encyclopedic history of the city written by Tav Falco and cultural critic Erik Morse.
