Suttree

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
