Cormac McCarthy

Suttree is a deeply moving novel and McCarthy is excellent at describing highly mundane or more approriately grotesque scenes with real beauty. It is my favourite novel of his and considering my own upbringing the story of a man living in poverty who manages to maintain his dignity really resonates with me.

Pa. Why are eggs breakfast?

What.

You can put bacon on lunch.

Ye.

But if you put eggs on stuff it becomes breakfast?

The man spat and said the eggs are not for this world or from this world they come from the chicken but the chicken knows it not.

His second best novel and his most challenging. The opening is one of the best I've ever read. I envy his poetic sensibility. The scene with the watermelons had him laughing out loud, which I never expected from McCarthy.

written much better than child of god. it's on par with blood meridian. child of god had a more interesting premise.

Yeah this is exactly what I was going to say. Suttree is also very funny compared to some of his other stuff. I think in terms of quality its tied with BM but theyre very different novels
