More About This Book

Overview

By the author of Blood Meridian and All the Pretty Horses, Suttree 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.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Set in Knoxville, Tenn., in the 1950s, this novel tells the story of a man who has repudiated his well-to-do parents, deserted his wife and is now a river fisherman who consorts with robbers, ragmen and other outcasts. ``McCarthy captures these people's lives and speech with a tough, lyric grace,'' PW commented. (October)

Meet the Author

Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in1933 and spent most of his childhood near Knoxville, Tennessee. He served in the U.S. Air Force and later studied at the University of Tennessee. In 1976 he moved to El Paso, Texas, where he lives today.  McCarthy's fiction parallels his movement from the Southeast to the West—the first four novels being set in Tennessee, the last three in the Southwest and Mexico. The Orchard Keeper (1965) won the Faulkner Award for a first novel; it was followed by Outer Dark (1968),  Child of God (1973), Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian (1985), All the Pretty Horses, which won both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award for fiction in 1992, and The Crossing.

    Better than Blood Meridian?

    No. Not to say it is worse. One cannot compare the two. Blood Meridian is a hyperviolent crusade of remorseless violence and death. Suttree is the complete opposite. Suttree, the novel, revolves around life and its goings on. Sure, plenty of people die within these pages, but that isn't the point of it. This isn't the taking of Knoxville Tennessee, it's just a story about life and its various happenings. When I ask myself which book I enjoyed more, Suttree or Blood Meridian, the only way I can compare them fairly is to compare the characters.

    Judge Holden, Glanton, Toadvine, and, sort of, the Kid, of Blood Meridian are all the standouts the novel has in my memory. But even the standouts of Blood Meridian can't hold a candle to the likes of Gene Harrogate, Callahan, Ab Jones, Oceanfrog, Trippin Through The Dew, the ragpicker, J-Bone, Hoghead, or even Cornelius Suttree himself.

    I know Blood Meridian is the polar opposite or Suttree in its portrayal of human beings. But that doesn't mean I can't like the cast of Suttree more. They are human beings. Just that. They make mistakes, cuss, screw, steal, get in trouble, go to jail...but they also made me smile. I cared for the degenerates of Suttree. I cared for no one in Blood Meridian.

    What it boils down to is this: Blood Meridian is a meditation on violence in the human heart, and just how far we will go to get what we want. Suttree is the feel of a spring breeze coming off a lake, the smell of a warm day rising from asphalt. Suttree is the weeds scratching at your calves as you walk through a field.

    Suttree is all the human components Blood Meridian lacks. And for that I think I may have to say I enjoyed its light on life more than I enjoyed the crimson stains of Blood Meridian.

    Yet, both still stand in my mind as masterpieces.

    Book's don't get much better.

    I never for a moment thought a book could surpass Blood Meridian, but I hadn't reckoned on Cormac McCarthy surpassing himself. Suttree has all the filth, pain, humor, death, backwardness, and awe before the stars of God, of life itself. This is the only book that has ever made me cry. Read it sometime.

    Not better than Blood Meridian...

    I felt like I needed a shower every time I put this book down. McCarthy paints such a vivid picture of the low-lifes and drunks, the lives they lead, and the places that they live. It will make feel like you were there through such clear and hard hitting imagery. If you are a fan of great American literature or a McCarthy fan you will love Suttree, but it is not better than Blood Meridian...sorry. :)

    vivid and gripping

    If you require a plot to enjoy a book, don't read Suttree. If you enjoy vivid images and characters that wrench emotion out of you, read Suttree. Since I fall in the latter category, I enjoyed Suttree even more than Blood Meridian.

    River, Wind, Stone, Heat, Cold, Smells--You're There

    This book grabs you and holds you; I read it over a year ago! The sense of place is amazing. I moved to Appalachia five years ago and assure you he has it perfectly, as it must have been 50-60 years ago. The book is just as amazing in every other way. The character. Miles,hours, days, weeks pass but nothing happens, just being alive! Read it!
