Suttree by Cormac McCarthy

Trade Paperback.

From the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 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 McCarthy's latest novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
