Publisher's Synopsis
From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road, here 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.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
