Marcellus Hightower, the young boy in the novel, THIS IS ADAM,
returns to his hometown as a grown man in DEVIL'S ELBOW. He seeks
answers, turning for help to Adam Atwell, his surrogate father.
Adam, a black man in the segregated South, shares with Marcellus
the haunting memory of David Ransom's murder on the mighty Ocmulgee
River. The memories interweave with a quarter century of Marcellus
Hightower's quest for love and redemption, through his developing
character, economic calamity and the turmoil of war. With Adam's
sage guidance, he finds a way to "cleanse his heart" and face life
anew. "DEVIL'S ELBOW is a powerful novel indeed. The old verities-a
man's troubles with women, with himself, with love and guilt-are
all treated as freshly as if Cheney had discovered them." Walker
Percy (1969)
