  • "Cornelius Suttree, having abandoned a life of privilege, takes up life as a river fisherman on a dilapidated houseboat near Knoxville, Tennessee, where he encounters an assortment of eccentrics and outcasts."@en
  • "Een jonge, oorspronkelijk welgestelde man leeft een poos aan de zelfkant van Knoxville aan de rivier de Tennessee, temidden van mensen met eigen codes en levens zonder duidelijk begin of einde."
  • "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. From the Trade Paperback edition."@en
  • "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 called "a doomed version" of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Suttree was written over a 30-year span and is a departure from his previous novels, being much longer, more sprawling in structure, and perhaps McCarthy's most humorous novel."
  • "Arguably the masterpiece of a novelist as highly praised and scarcely read as any living writer, the Vintage Contemporaries reprint of Suttree should help to bring McCarthy the readers to match his many awards and voluminous reviews."@en
