Biggest Elvis, also known as Biggest Elvis: A Novel, is a novel written by American author P. F. Kluge, an ex-U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in the Pacific region and writer-in-residence at Kenyon College. This 1996 literary piece started out as a journalistic writing for Playboy magazine, to illustrate the nightlife in brothels and nightclubs when fleets of American naval servicemen dock for sailor’s shore-leave on the port of Olongapo City. It is also a portrayal of the entrapment of poverty-stricken residents of Olongapo within a "military economy" through the nightly and ritualistic on-stage rebirths, deaths, and resurrections of Elvis Presley by three American copycats living and making a livelihood while in the Philippines.
