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.

5By jonekakesThe textures and images conjured by this tale demonstrate McCarthy's mastery of language and the odd lot of characters make it just plain fun!Suttree
4By Wedley41Suttree 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.
