They are so good that one can hardly say how good they really are. . . . \u003ci\u003eSuttree\u003c\/i\u003e may be his magnum opus. Its protagonist, Cornelius Suttree, has forsaken his prominent  family to live in a dilapidated houseboat among the inhabitants of the demimonde  along the banks of the Tennessee River. His associates are mostly criminals of one  sort or another, and Suttree is, to say the least, estranged from what might be called  normal society. But he is so involved with life (and it with him) that when in the  end he takes his leave, the reader’s heart goes with him. \u003ci\u003eSuttree\u003c\/i\u003e is probably the  funniest and most unbearably sad of McCarthy’s books . . . which seem to me unsurpassed  in American literature.”\u003cb\u003e —Stanley Booth\u003c\/b\u003eThe novels of the American writer, Cormac McCarthy, have received a number of literary awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
