No discussion of great modern authors is complete without mention of Cormac McCarthy, whose rare and blazing talent makes his every work a true literary event. A grand addition to the American literary canon, Suttree introduces readers to Cornelius Suttree, a man who abandons his affluent family to live among a dissolute array of vagabonds along the Tennessee river.©1979 Cormac McCarthy (P)2012 Recorded Books Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Sagas Westerns Heartfelt Suspenseful

Cormac McCarthy's works will be read for years to come and beyond. This performance of Suttree is excellent. Richard Poe is the perfect reader for CM's work. i looked forward to listening every day. highly recommend.

20 glorious hours

This was a meandering compilation of vignettes rather than a novel. In a few years, carved out of the arc of the main character’s life, the author does offer some jewels of descriptive prose, but the overall book is disappointingly disjointed.

Nothing says wordsmith like Mr McCarthy
I have had the
Pleasure of coming to him later in life and it’s thrilling

Might be the best book ever written in English. Might also be the best audiobook of all time.

The prose and narration.

Poe really captures McCarthy's spirit. Would listen again. Novel works great as audio book. Poetic and powerful.

Amazing Narration

Demonstrates mastery of language both in his descriptions of setting, and in capturing dialogue. He can range from lush to spare. However, this is not a book for those looking for plot.

A tour de force of writing

I'm sure it must be a good read for some people, but I couldn't stay focused through enough of the book to finish it.

Painful

Another beautifully written McCarthy novel. A novel in which everything happens while nothing is happening, in a way only this author can pull off. Narration was very good.
