'Suttree contains a humour that is Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O'Connor' Times Literary Supplement
Cormac McCarthy is the author of ten acclaimed novels, most recently The Road. Among his honours are the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
Suttree marks McCarthy's closest approach to autobiography and is
probably the funniest and most unbearably sad of his books
*Stanley Booth, journalist and author of The True Adventures of
the Rolling Stones*
The book comes at us like a horrifying flood. The language licks,
batters, wounds - a poetic, troubled rush of debris . . . Cormac
McCarthy has little mercy to spare, for his characters or himself.
His text is broken, beautiful and ugly in spots . . . Suttree is
like a good, long scream in the ear
