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
El Feb 2 2024, un lector dijo:
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
