Cormac McCarthy is a modern American classic of major caliber, winner of the MacArthur Fellowship "For Genius", a master of complex experiences and non-standard syntax, well known to our readers novels "No Place for Old Men Here" (the Coen brothers' film based on this book won four Oscars) and "The Road" (won the Pulitzer Prize and was also screened), "Border Trilogy" (the first novel of which, "Horses, Horses...", won the National Book Award of the United States and was transferred to the screen by Billy Bob Thornton) and "Blood Bloody Bloody"."The Border Trilogy (whose first novel, Horses, Horses, Horses, won the National Book Award and was brought to the screen by Billy Bob Thornton, starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz) and Blood Meridian.

A special place in his legacy occupies an epic tragicomedy "Suttree" - "an unthinkable - and yet completely organic - combination of James Joyce's 'Ulysses' and John Steinbeck's 'Cannery Row'" (New York Times), "almost an autobiography" of the famous recluse. So the setting is Knoxville, Tennessee; it's the 1950s. Cornelius Suttree, scion of a wealthy family, has abandoned his wife and young son for unknown reasons and has taken up residence in a houseboat on the river. He eats fish that he himself has caught, drinks anything that burns (and that friends bring), spends his time "in the company of thieves, scum, scoundrels ... idlers, rude men, penny-pinchers, murderers, gamblers, procuresses ... oafs, schmarovozovs ... and other various and malicious miscreants," but does not lose his human dignity and looks at the world with detached directness.
