Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Premio Pulitzer 2007 por La carreteraCon la historia de Suttree, Cormac McCarthy explora la existencia en sus formas mas rudas y hace una reflexion sobre la identidad y la ausencia de propositos en la vida.Knoxville, Tennessee, decada de 1950. La novela relata algunos anos de la vida del heroe que da nombre a la novela, Cornelius Suttree, un hombre que deja atras su vida de familia acomodada, abandona a su mujer y se compra una barcaza, en la que vivira, para convertirse en pescador uniendose a una banda de vagabundos, ladrones, prostitutas, jugadores y demas parias cuya vida transcurre entre la mera supervivencia y una muerte sordida.El protagonista comparte los rasgos tradicionales de los heroes de McCarthy: es un solitario impenitente, acaba presa de un aislamiento que nunca se explica del todo y el momento de la vida en que se encuentra se describe con una crudeza y una intensidad poetica que elude todo analisis. Asi, la vida de Cornelius Suttree se convierte en el relato de una vida anonima, sin compromisos, que explora la existencia en sus formas mas rudas de un modo que no esta exento de lirismo, para acabar convirtiendose en una reflexion sobre la identidad y la ausencia de propositos en la vida.La mejor novela extranjera publicada en 2004 segun "Cultura/s", La VanguardiaENGLISH DESCRIPTIONSuttree is Cormac McCarthy's 1979 semi-autobiographical novel set in 1950s Knoxville, Tennessee.
