No discussion of great modern authors is complete without mention of Cormac McCarthy, whose rare and blazing talent makes his every work a true literary event. A grand addition to the American literary canon, Suttree introduces readers to Cornelius Suttree, a man who abandons his affluent family to live among a dissolute array of vagabonds along the Tennessee river.©1979 Cormac McCarthy (P)2012 Recorded Books Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Emotionally Gripping Classics

Critic reviews

“ Suttree contains a humor that is Faulknerian … and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor.” ( Times Literary Supplement, London)
All stars
Most relevant
An evocative tale of the depression and the life of Sutree, who we meet living on a houseboat on the river eeking out a living catching fish and selling what he catches to stay alive. Rich in description of the time and place Cormac Macarthy does what he does best yet again with his gift for bring to life times past and the all kinds of characters who are beliveable and recognizable. A story with pathos and poinient, raw and often uncomfortable in the power of his descriptive narative.

He is undoubtedly a master story teller, this story will move the listener and be prepared to be deeply touched by its rawness.

The story is based around an ordinary decent man, struggling through life the best way he can.

The descriptions of people and scenes were fantastically evocative without being overly flowery or lengthy, and with some interesting language that was very thought provoking.

I came across this book by accident but loved every minute of it.

Hugely atmospheric book

Magnificent in scope and execution. Terrible tales from a lost delta woven with a cloth no daintier than blunt survival and alcoholism. Delirium has never trembled so accurately or beautifully.

A masterpiece.
