Acerca de este libro

Suttree is a semi-autobiographical novel by Cormac McCarthy, published in 1979. Set in 1951 in Knoxville, Tennessee, the novel follows Cornelius Suttree, who has repudiated his former life of privilege to become a fisherman on the Tennessee River. The novel has a fragmented structure with many flashbacks and shifts in grammatical person. Suttree has been compared to James Joyce's Ulysses, John Steinbeck's Cannery Row, and Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

The novel took McCarthy 20 years to write, and he was 46 when it was published in 1979.

Información de la editorial

Cornelius Suttree lives alone and in exile in a disintegrating houseboat on the wrong side of the Tennessee River. Despite this, he manages to rise above the physical and human squalor of the surrounding community, surviving the dereliction and destitution with dignity.

Primera línea

Peering down into the water where the morning sun fashioned wheels of light, coronets fanwise in which lay trapped each twig, each grin of sediment, long flakes and blades of light in the dusty water sliding away like optic strobes where motes sifted and spun.
