Product Information

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.

Reviews
" Suttree contains a humour that is Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O'Connor." -- The Times Literary Supplement (London) "All of McCarthy's books present the reviewer with the same welcome difficulty. They are so good that one can hardly say how good they really are. . . . Suttree may be his magnum opus. Its protagonist, Cornelius Suttree, has forsaken his prominent family to live in a dilapidated houseboat among the inhabitants of the demimonde along the banks of the Tennessee River. His associates are mostly criminals of one sort or another, and Suttree is, to say the least, estranged from what might be called normal society. But he is so involved with life (and it with him) that when in the end he takes his leave, the reader's heart goes with him. Suttree is probably the funniest and most unbearably sad of McCarthy's books . . . which seem to me unsurpassed in American literature." --Stanley Booth, "Suttreecontains a humour that is Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O'Connor." -The Times Literary Supplement(London) "All of McCarthy's books present the reviewer with the same welcome difficulty.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • dark and dirty with dashes of humor

    Suttree was described in the reviews from the book as McCarthy's mea culpa. I wouldn't go that far. I think "No Country For Old Men" is his mea culpa. The best part of Suttree for me is the character of Harrogate. He's the compulsive loaded gun who gets into absurd scrapes of ambition. It's not often I laugh out loud at a book's contents but did this one. On the other hand it goes into darkness of spirit also. The negative is the passages of introspection and mind travel that I found myself mostly checking out of until the dialogue or sequence started again; something that I also found in McCarthy's border trilogy. Pretty good read.

  • arrived quickly in excellent shape

  • Suttree

    Cormac McCarthy is an incredible author. His command of the English language is awsome. I am not a particular fan of novels of the Old West, but McCarthy could make his grocery list entertaining. He is discriptive in the extreme and his vocaublary is enormous. His tales are most often tragic and they just seem to stop rather than end. If you want a story with a happy ending, skip his books. If you like a book where the author is able give your a vivid mental image of the setting and deep insight into the characters, you will not find a better writter. I have now read everthing he has published and place him among my favorite authors.

  • Suttree - Cormac McCarthy's most compelling novel

    Cormac McCarthy has received a lot of accolades for his work, and certainly the most praise and money for “All the Pretty Horses” but I believe that “Suttree” is his best and most compelling work. Without a doubt, “Pretty Horses” was the most cinematic, and obviously made the best movie, but to me it felt forced and even contrived. “Suttree” on the other hand, had a fierce feeling of realism throughout. Perhaps because I lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, while I was reading it, I felt all the more connected to the places and settings (even though it was a few decades later, and worlds apart socially). There was an underlying ease and familiarity with the stories and people who populated this book, as if he had known them all personally. Suttree was an intelligent, educated, upper middle ...

  • An authentic Southern novel. Go get it.

    Never before has a book captivated me like Suttree. The book has everything for me--genuine characters, depth, humor, an engaging storyline--I've read it twice in the past few months and am already looking forward to reading it again. Suttree is the story of a man with the same name who has lived a life that can best be described as, well... life. With a gravity (and yet a refreshing lightness and sense of humor), Suttree winds through his life much like the river his life (and this book) is based around. Being from Tennessee myself I find the authenticity of the characters, dialogue, and setting of this book wonderful, and they only add to McCarthy's beautiful, poetic narrative. I couldn't recommend this book enough to my friends. The book does not have a chilling mystery or ...
