Description

From the writer of Blood Meridian and All of the Pretty Horses, Suttree may be the story of Cornelius Suttree, that has forsaken a life of freedom with his prominent family to reside in a dilapidated houseboat on the Tennessee River near Knoxville.  Remaining on the prices of the outcast neighborhood there--a superbly imagined assortment of eccentrics, crooks, and squatters--he soars above the physical and human squalor with detachment, humor, and self-esteem.
