rating:
Suttree is a "once-normal", working husband and father who decided to drop out and become a street person who lives on a houseboat and makes his meak living by selling the fish he catches each day. This book never explains why he left his wife and child nor why he hates his family but that really seems not to matter. His interractions with the other street acoholics, in jail, in allies, under bridges, on the streets, provide a great insight into who this man is - inside. He is kind and intelligent and patient and giving. And alone. I loved this book - another of McCarthy's brilliant novels.
