Publisher's black cloth-backed yellow paper boards, 'CM' monogram gilt to upper cover, spine lettered in gilt, publisher's printed dust jacket. Small scratch to spine of dust jacket. FIRST EDITION, A FINE BRIGHT COPY. Arguably his Magnum Opus, Suttree was called '... a book with rude, startling power and a flood of talk... [McCarthy] gives us a sense of river life that reads like a doomed 'Huckleberry Finn'' (Jerome Charyn in The New York Times, 1979). It represents the last of his Tennessee novels, and would be followed by Blood Meridian in 1985, reflecting McCarthy's literal and physical move west.
