Suttree is maybe my favorite book of ever. If someone gave me the choice between Suttree existing in the world and driving to New York and killing both of you, you would maybe not want to answer your phone.
but you don't have my phone number, mike.
Cormac McCarthy has all numbers, and not just the phone ones.
