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.
多年前读了中文译本,没什么感觉。这次读的是英文原著,很被震撼。这说明翻译确实是很难的。
评分无法代入的人生,却是完全可代入的情感。不知不觉就过了一辈子,不只是最终,而是始终孑然一身。感慨家庭对一个人的影响,莫名其妙就引导了人的一生,这一点不是从Stoner身上,而是从他篇幅不多的女儿身上看到的。那一刻,觉得可怕。虽然是完全不同的境遇,也没有起伏大悲的情节,还是会在最后看到流泪。
评分泪点:Katherine后来去了一个女校教书,博士论文出了书,谨致W.S.。
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"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."
这本书真是激起了我众多的恶感乃至愤怒。但是也慢慢由此明白,我对很多“严肃文学”的恶感与此类似,我一直非常害怕读大段描写人类的怯懦、无力感或者是鸡贼的作品,每到这个时候就想逃走。比如《更多的人死于心碎》就让我非常困扰。我经常觉得好多事情并非完全不可抗力,与其...
评分斯通纳是农家之子,性格木讷,甚至有点怯懦。本来父母给他安排的未来是到大学读完农业后回家打理农庄。但是,一门英语选修课彻底改变了他。在课堂上,他听到了莎士比亚隔着三百年对他的召唤。于是,他改变了专业,背弃了父母的规划,并在几年后成为了一名大学英语教师。 但是...
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...
评分多年以前我听一个老奶奶讲她的人生故事。她说,在收到女儿车祸噩耗的那天,她把自己关在屋子里,没有哭,只是静静坐着。当门再次打开时,已是神色如常,前来吊唁的人什么安慰的话都说不出来,只能叹口气回去。 她解释在那间屋子里发生了什么,说:“我把我自己的一部...
