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. “Suttree contains a humor that i is Faulknerian … and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor.”—Times
