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 Notes
First Line: "Peering down into the water where the morning sun fashioned wheels of light, coronets fanwise in which lay trapped each twig, each grain of sediment, long flakes and blades of light in the dusty water sliding away like optic strobes where motes sifted and spun."

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
