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.

评分隔壁老王的故事
评分看荒野侦探觉得杨向荣是一位很靠谱的译者 然而斯通纳里边出现的很多低级错误是高中生都不会犯的 还是要吹一下中文版的封面设计 六本文学著作摘出六个字母拼成Stoner 每次只要一看见就各种共鸣(你共鸣个JB)+情绪翻涌 而且书壳竟然有六种颜色 忍不住有种再买五本的冲动 可是认清现实吧 你不过是个穷鬼

评分by 谷立立 哈罗德•布鲁姆在论及塞万提斯时,使用了“人生如戏”的断语。因为就算《堂吉诃德》为塞万提斯赚得无数好评,却依然不能解决作家的温饱。“他除了要养活自己和家庭外别无什么雄心大志,他的剧作家生涯则是个失败。他的才情不在写诗,而体现在《堂吉诃德》之中。”...
评分等玩够了,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...
