Suttree by Cormac McCarthy (English) Paperback Book

Description: Suttree by Cormac McCarthy 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. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road, here 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.Look for Cormac McCarthys latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris. Author Biography The novels of the American writer, Cormac McCarthy, have received a number of literary awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. His works adapted to film include All the Pretty Horses, The Road, and No Country for Old Men—the latter film receiving four Academy Awards, including the award for Best Picture. He died in 2023. Review "McCarthys prose [is] laudable, his characters the most inhabited, his sense of place the most blood worthy and thoroughly felt of any living writer." —Esquire"Suttree contains a humour that is Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery OConnor." —The Times Literary Supplement (London) "All of McCarthys 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 readers heart goes with him. Suttree is probably the funniest and most unbearably sad of McCarthys books . . . which seem to me unsurpassed in American literature." —Stanley Booth Review Quote "Suttreecontains a humour that is Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery OConnor." -The Times Literary Supplement(London) "All of McCarthys books present the reviewer with the same welcome difficulty.
