<p><b>In this semi-autobiographical work, a man abandons his life of privilege to live among eccentrics, criminals and the impoverished of Knoxville. <i>Suttree</i> is a humorous, compelling tapestry of life on the edge from Cormac McCarthy, author of <i>The Road </i>and <i>Blood Meridian</i>.<br><br>‘<i>Suttree </i>contains a humour that is Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and a freakish imaginative flair' – <i>Times Literary Supplement</i></b><br><br>1951.
Cornelius Suttree lives alone, exiled on a disintegrating houseboat on the wrong side of the Tennessee River. As we meet him, Suttree watches the police haul the body of a suicidal man from the water. Amongst the living, the river is home to hermits, sex workers, alcoholics – and a witch.<br><br>Conjuring James Joyce's <i>Ulysses</i>, Suttree wanders the river with a detachment and wry humour, encountering a broad cast of humanity as he does – even as dereliction and destitution threaten the last of his remaining dignity.<br><br><b>'Suttree is like a good, long scream in the ear' – <i>New York Times</i></b><br><br><br>Praise for Cormac McCarthy:<br><br>‘McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ – Anne Enright, author of <i>The Green Road </i>and<i> The Wren, The Wren</i><br><br>'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of <i>The Shining</i> and the Dark Tower series<br><br>'[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of <i>Brokeback Mountain</i></p>
