I stand by my earlier comment: Suttree feels like a fallen prophet for the pariahs. McCarthy’s Knoxville Ulysses-esque novel offers prose that is difficult to unpack, but offers depth beyond understanding. Suttree loves, yet damns his own adventures. The line, “At least I exist” will forever ring in my ears.

Is Cormac McCarthy a hack? Maybe. I would say yes to that. So, nothing happens, there is a lot of religious alegories and overwritten sentences that don't mean anything. There is some stream of consciousness, bad grammar, and bad writing. Why is this guy so praised? All his books are the same garbage. But people love him, so I have to read them (the books). I WANT TO UNDERSTAND!!! Is this like a social experiment on how easy is to manipulate people into believing someone is great?

I'm not sure what to say about this book, exactly. It's beautiful, it's sad, it's hopeful and bleak at the same time.

Really beautifully imagined community. Equally funny and sad.
