William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known.
And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.
John Williams's luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.
John Williams was born on August 29, 1922 in Clarksville, Texas. He served in the United States Army Air Force from 1942 to 1945 in China, Burma and India. The Swallow Press published his first novel, Nothing But the Night, in 1948, as well as his first book of poems, The Broken Landscape, in 1949. Macmillan published Williams' second novel, Butcher's Crossing, in 1960. After recieving his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Denver, and his Ph.D from the University of Missouri, Williams returned in 1954 to the University of Denver where he taught literature and the craft of writing for thirty years. In 1963 Williams received a fellowship to study at Oxford University where where he received a Rockefeller grant enabling him to travel and research in Italy for his last novel, Augustus, published in 1972. John Williams died in Arkansas on March 4, 1994.
"You must remember what you are and what you have chosen to become, and the significance of what you are doing. There are wars and defeats and victories of the human race that are not military and that are not recorded in the annals of history. Remember that while you're trying to decide what to do."
评分(Reminds me of Russell's) Knowledge & Love & (pity for) human suffering. Still think he should have done more for his daughter.
评分能把一个普通人的生活写得这么生动而且真实,不夸张不造作不离奇,但同时又能引人入胜,这非常难得。
评分我知道年龄不太对 但我读的时候一直脑补stoner是李思涯lomax是甘阳 最后晚宴上stoner没给lomax一巴掌让我很失望
评分我想,好的小說是每位讀者都能從主人公身上找到自己的影子。《斯通納》就是這樣的小說,主人公斯通納就是那位像鏡子一般幫助讀者照見自我的人。他是一個普通得不能再普通的男人,沒有俗世意義上的功成名就,卻終其一生都不曾放棄對理想的追求和對信念的堅守。有時候,平凡與偉大之間,並無深淵巨壑。
等玩够了,找个老实人嫁了……是一种年轻人经常交流,试探三观的都市传说。每一个自以为老实男人的心里,都会有这样一种恐惧,害怕自己看上的姑娘,没有看上自己,只是“玩够了,找个老实人嫁了。” 其实我一直对这种担忧不以为然,如果你看上这个姑娘,又实在识破不了她的伪...
评分文/朱利安•巴恩斯 Julian Barnes 译/杨向荣 1963年6月13日,美国小说家约翰•威廉斯(John Williams)从他供职的丹佛大学致信自己的经纪人玛利亚•罗德尔(Marie Rodell),当时他任该大学的英文教授。罗德尔刚读完他的第三部长篇小说《斯通纳》(Stoner),虽然明确...
评分人类至今其实没什么进步。尤其情感方面,对生死爱恨的感觉,对荒诞命运的感觉,嫉妒、贪婪、荣誉感和挫败感,几千年未变。文学的变迁只是在这些情感中陆续突出其一二。比如浪漫的、骑士的、壮丽的、颓废的、放荡的、失意的和诗意的等等。《斯通纳》在沉寂五十年之后风行世界,...
评分2015年5月,英美三家电影制作公司,在法国戛纳电影节联合宣布启动一本小说的电影改编计划。它们分别是:出品奥斯卡获奖电影《爆裂鼓手》的布鲁姆制片公司(Blumhouse Productions),出品《007:幽灵党》的科恩传媒(Cohen Media Group)和戛纳电影节封后之作《卡罗尔》的制片...
评分听说,坏女孩走四方,好女孩,上天堂。所以《斯通纳》一口气看完后,心里会忍不住为它的销路担心。都懂的,今天能和正经文学争“一口气看完”的,是《琅琊榜》是《冰与火之歌》,和朋友圈那样让人欲仙欲死的社交网络。我安慰自己,《斯通纳》是足够动人的小说,而不是足够“高...
