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.

评分31岁这一年,我在读《斯通纳》。 而31岁的斯通纳,正做什么呢? 大约正带着那副圆眼镜,穿着不合身的灯芯绒外套 在清晨,穿过无人的小路,匆匆赶往大学的图书馆 “他游历过排排书架,置身于几千册图书中 呼吸着皮革、衣服、干燥的书页释放出的发霉的气息 就像闻着某种来自异国...

近来大热的一本旧书 确实带着过去年代的克制和优美。一生不过某些片断而已 然后就过去了。
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
评分不会再有一本书有这么俗的作者名字这么平淡的故事但读的时候让人放不下来看完了以后难受了好几天. 是不是因为我们太习惯了英雄传奇高潮迭起反而会忘了大部分人的生活就只是这样追求自己想要的 然后失去得到 在大事件里起起伏伏 活着没啥死了也没啥人知道. 但有多少人能像他一样执着追求乃至到最后无欲无求...
