Synopsis
Cormac McCarthy's highly unusual novel, set in 1951 Knoxville (where the author grew up), is the story of Cornelius Suttree, a distinct oddball unlike the young, questing heroes of most of McCarthy's other books. Suttree has given up a life of patrician wealth to live alone on a broken-down old houseboat on the Tennessee River, where he hopes to learn the secret of life as it is embodied by the ever-flowing river--and to fish in peace. With echoes of both HUCKLEBERRY FINN and ULYSSES, McCarthy's novel follows Suttree as he unavoidably encounters a vast variety of people along the river, including drunks, thieves, lost children, whores, a blind man, a preacher, a gravedigger, even a witch. SUTTREE is a sad, compassionate, and funny novel told in McCarthy's incomparable fluid, rhythmic, lyrical prose.

Publisher's Note
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.

By the author of Blood Meridian and All the Pretty Horses, Suttree 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.

Industry Reviews
"'Suttree' may be [McCarthy's] magnum opus...probably the funniest and most unbearably sad of [his] books...which seem to me unsurpassed in American literature."
Book Jacket - Stanley Booth

"Cormac McCarthy gives us a sense of river life that reads like a doomed 'Huckelberry Finn'."
Wolitzer
