Title: A Brilliant Work of Art
Product review: It's hard to imagine how someone could write such a superb book as "Suttree", but Cormac McCarthy is a whole order of magnitude above most writers. This fascinating book tells the tale of Cornelius Suttree as he lives his hardscrabble life along the Tennessee River near Knoxville in the '50s. The book is filled with some of the most memorable characters in modern literature, not the least of them Suttree himself. This picaresque book hurls humor and sadness at the reader and dialog that is so real, your head will spin. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what's going on -- if you're a McCarthy reader you know what I'm talking about -- but the story sorts itself out and the reader moves along. By the end of the book you will have become quite attached to Suttree, Harrogate and the denizens of the flats along the river and you know you will miss them.
