Suttree

Suttree marks McCarthy's closest approach to autobiography and is probably the funniest and most unbearably sad of his books -- Stanley Booth, journalist and author of <i>The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones</i> The book comes at us like a horrifying flood. The language licks, batters, wounds - a poetic, troubled rush of debris . . . Cormac McCarthy has little mercy to spare, for his characters or himself. His text is broken, beautiful and ugly in spots . . . Suttree is like a good, long scream in the ear -- Jerome Charyn * New York Times * Suttree contains a humour that is Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor * Times Literary Supplement *
