Suttree

Cornelius Suttree lives alone and in exile in a disintegrating houseboat on the wrong side of the Tennessee River, close by Knoxville, and at the edge of an outcast community of eccentrics, criminals and the poverty-stricken.
From the author of the acclaimed Border Trilogy, this is a compelling novel about a man who rises above the physical and human squalor around him, and whose detachment and wry humour enable him to survive dereliction and destitution with dignity.In-store early August.
