Sinopsis
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.

Reseñas
Knoxville, Tennessee in the early 1950s serves as the main setting for Suttree. The main character, Cornelius Suttree, is a fisherman who resides on the river in a run-down houseboat. Having become estranged from his well-known family, he has turned away from the society they stand for in favor of a different reality where people lead unstable, violent, and frequently desperate lives. "McCarthy is a writer to he read, to be admired, and quite honestly- envied" (Ralph Ellison, 1994). I had also reviewed this book on shabd.in
