The Psalmist is epic both in scope of its story and in its page length. We follow blues musician David Threnody as navigates early 1900’s New Orleans. We follow David’s life, his music, and his beliefs. The Psalmist is moving and meticulously crafted. Akley uses many different forms of prose to tell an intelligent and deeply detailed story. From journal entries to a stage play, there is no denying the novel’s compulsion and it’s ability to capture of life in it’s pages.
