Suttree

"Suttree" is a novel by Cormac McCarthy that explores the life of Cornelius Suttree, a man who has chosen to live on the margins of society in Knoxville, Tennessee during the 1950s.

Written in a poetic, vivid style, it offers a profound meditation on human resilience, identity, and the complexities of life outside conventional norms. The novel is both a character study and a reflection on societal outcasts.
