Product Description:
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.

This beautifully written book has no real plot at all; rather it is a series of incidents and vignettes, painting a depressing but amusing picture of life among the dregs of society. Sutree is an educated alcoholic who has abandoned his wife and family and is living in a dilapidated houseboat on the Tennessee River near Knoxville.

I wish I had the ability to describe just how stunningly good this book is. The prose approaches perfection. I rarely ascribe true and unrelenting genius to writers, but I will make an exception for Mr. McCarthy. My favorite opening sentence of all time...
"Dear friend now in the dusty clockless hours of the town when the streets lie black and steaming in the wake of the watertrucks and now when the drunk and the homeless have washed up in the lee of walls in alleys or abandoned lots ... Read More

Incomprehensible..Boring, A waste of money..
I you want to spend time trying to unravel what the heck this man is trying to say, then do so..I gave it my best shot and in disgust tossed it into the waste basket.
Rating:  -
Suttree is much more simplistic than The Border Trilogy, and No Country for Old Men. Consequently, the language is not as beautiful. McCarthy, in writing Suttree, was only honing his skill towards greatness.
