Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road, here is the story of Cornelius Suttree, who has forsaken a life of privilege with his prominent family to live in a dilapidated houseboat on the Tennessee River near Knoxville.
Remaining on the margins of the outcast community there—a brilliantly imagined collection of eccentrics, criminals, and squatters—he rises above the physical and human squalor with detachment, humor, and dignity.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Set in Knoxville, Tenn., in the 1950s, this novel tells the story of a man who has repudiated his well-to-do parents, deserted his wife and is now a river fisherman who consorts with robbers, ragmen and other outcasts. "McCarthy captures these people's lives and speech with a tough, lyric grace,'' PW commented.
Customer Reviews
Suttree
Suttree shows what an amazing writer Cormac McCarthy is. A depressing tale of unrealized potential is still a worthy read as you journey through a life of tragedy, loyalty, triumph, and despair.
