Suttree (Paperback)

Paperback. From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prizewinning 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 therea brilliantly imagined collection of eccentrics, criminals, and squattershe rises above the physical and human squalor with detachment, humor, and dignity. Arguably the masterpiece of a novelist as highly praised and scarcely read as any living writer, the Vintage Contemporaries reprint of Suttree should help to bring McCarthy the readers to match his many awards and voluminous reviews.
