Suttree (Vintage International)

By the author of <b>Blood Meridian</b> and <b>All the Pretty Horses</b>, <b>Suttree</b> is the story of Cornelius Suttree, who has forsaken a life of privilege with his prominent family to live in a dilapidated houseboat on the Tennessee River near Knoxville.  Remaining on the margins of the outcast community there--a brilliantly imagined collection of eccentrics, criminals, and squatters--he rises above the physical and human squalor with detachment, humor, and dignity.
