Critics Review
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 The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones
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 *
A freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor * Times Literary Supplement *
