Madewell Brown is the fourth publication of the Guadalupe Series. As saved in Rick Collignon's second book, Perdido, a high black man with one arm longer than the other strolled into Guadalupe, New Mexico one day about 50 years back, stayed virtually to himself for seven years, and then strolled back out of town. Nobody knew who he was or what became of him. Now, as his previous act, an old man named Ruffino Trujillo tells his grown boy Cipriano a story about what became of the black man. After Ruffino's loss of life, Cipriano discovers an old canvas carrier bearing the name of Madewell Brown. Inside are a hand-carved doll, an old blanket, an unlabeled photography of a Negro League baseball team, and a little, yellowing envelope that was never posted. Thinking it minimal he is able to do, Cipriano mails the letter.When it will come in Cairo, Illinois, it comes into the hands of a young woman named Rachael, who believes it is from her lost grandfather. She believes this because of all that she's been advised by the raggedy old man who educated her everything: Obie Poole, who was Madewell's good friend and the orphaned Rachael's anchor, the man who gives this eloquent book its genuine sense of background lived. Drawn magically forward on Rick Collignon's direct and haunting prose, we follow Rachael to Guadalupe searching for her own personal information and we watch as Cipriano tries to make sense of the storyline his father advised him about a deceased man who didn't belong there.This fourth installment in Collignon's cherished Guadalupe series is really as enchanting as its predecessors, as psychologically honest, as surprising-and it solidly establishes Rick Collignon as a get good at American storyteller.
