Published in 1979, 'Suttree' by Cormac McCarthy is a narrative that captures the life of Cornelius Suttree, a man who has parted from a life of affluence to exist on the margins of society along the Tennessee River. It is a detailed portrayal of Suttree's relationships, struggles, and observations of the denizens inhabiting the river's periphery. The novel is often described as a departure from McCarthy's earlier works, introducing elements of dark humor and a sprawling, descriptive style.
