John Williams (1922-1994) was born and raised in northeast Texas. Despite a talent for writing and acting, Williams flunked out of a local junior college after his first year. He reluctantly joined the war effort, enlisting in the Army Air Corps, and managing to write a draft of his first novel while there. Once home, Williams found a small publisher for the novel and enrolled at the University of Denver, where he was eventually to receive both his B.A. and M.A., and where he was to return as an instructor in 1954. Williams remained on the staff of the creative writing program at the University of Denver until his retirement in 1985. During these years, he was an active guest lecturer and writer, publishing two volumes of poetry and three novels, Butcher’s Crossing, Stoner, and the National Book Award–winning Augustus. In addition to Butcher’s Crossing, NYRB Classics also publishes Stoner.
Michelle Latiolais is a member of the Programs in Writing at the University of California at Irvine where she is associate professor of English. She is the author of the novel Even Now.

In his National Book Award-winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America. It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, and#64257;red up by Emerson to seek "an original relation to nature," drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. "Butcher's Crossing "is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to and#64257;nd a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

讀後感
至今，约翰 威廉斯目前已经有中文版的三本小说《奥古斯都》、《斯通纳》、《屠夫十字镇》均看完。意想不到的是，三者中豆瓣评分最低的《屠夫十字镇》反而是我最喜欢的。 这本书写的是来自波士顿大城市的受过良好教育的年轻人，来到西部寻找自我的故事。在残忍、荒芜的大自然里...
評分 評分“有谁的身世听起来比你更可怜？有谁在凶恶的灾难中遭遇着人生的变迁，比你更可怜？” ——古希腊悲剧《俄狄浦斯王》 从《斯通纳》到《屠夫十字镇》，读者的视野由学院生活延伸到西部旷野，你会发现作家约翰•威廉斯总有意无意地踩在小说分类的边缘，轻率的读者很容...
評分这部小说曾被誉为“最好的西部小说”，不过作者约翰·威廉斯却很不喜欢这一说法，也拒绝因此被贴上“西部文学大师”的标签。当然，他是对的：就像《红楼梦》不应由于主角们都是一群少男少女而被归类为“青春文学”一样，西部仅仅是《屠夫十字镇》故事发生的背景，但小说本身探...
評分和大部分人一样，我也是在看了《斯通纳》以后，才认识了John Williams，在读完《斯通纳》后，觉得十分意犹未尽，于是看起了这本《屠夫十字镇》。 或许我们每个人都曾是安德鲁斯，厌倦了日常生活，觉得琐碎的生活是压抑的、丑陋的、懒散的、毫无意义的，我们渴望冲破这样的束缚...

John Williams的小說寫的真好，這本的確與Stoner有異麯同工之妙
评分簡介：一個高材生，跑到西部去打牛瞭。被稱為“最好的西部小說”，但個人感覺比較乏味。
评分確實精彩，發現瞭中文版中刪減的段落，不知道是故意的還是忘記翻譯瞭，，米勒在後形象落差真的太可怕瞭，但確實非常真實令人信服。
评分我竟然還蠻喜歡這本的！
