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.
隔壁老王的故事
評分我知道年齡不太對 但我讀的時候一直腦補stoner是李思涯lomax是甘陽 最後晚宴上stoner沒給lomax一巴掌讓我很失望
評分淚點:Katherine後來去瞭一個女校教書,博士論文齣瞭書,謹緻W.S.。
評分無法代入的人生,卻是完全可代入的情感。不知不覺就過瞭一輩子,不隻是最終,而是始終孑然一身。感慨傢庭對一個人的影響,莫名其妙就引導瞭人的一生,這一點不是從Stoner身上,而是從他篇幅不多的女兒身上看到的。那一刻,覺得可怕。雖然是完全不同的境遇,也沒有起伏大悲的情節,還是會在最後看到流淚。
評分看完這本書,寫瞭短短一句感慨:好像怎樣都過不好人生。斯通納的一生真是太普通瞭,普通得可以穿越時代找到無數同類人。讀到後40%,斯通納的空虛與絕望喚起我心中很大的共鳴。太熟悉瞭。那種靜靜的看著虛空找不到生存的意義的絕望。 斯通納勤懇,單純,逆來順受,都是他人生遺憾的原因。單純的勤懇讓他終生留在校園裏卻以副教授的職位結束瞭職業生涯,沒有榮譽,沒有建樹。可能本來可以有的,他卻在lomax的壓迫中浪費瞭太多時間。 他的逆來順受簡直是緻命的弱點,也提醒瞭我,真正想要的還是要放手一搏的,有時候不是為瞭得到什麼具體的東西,而是為瞭生命本身的尊嚴。他的逆來順受不僅糟踐瞭自己的人生,更放棄瞭作為父親的責任而間接毀瞭女兒的一生。他的逆來順受也讓Katherine轟轟烈烈的愛潦草收場。 人生,真不是那麼容易。
失落的经典被重新发现,从销量仅千本到几十万册的现象级畅销书,《斯通纳》在五十年后成为评论家津津乐道的一则传奇,名人纷纷撰文推荐,带着点悲壮,也有些解气,既遗憾彼时读者的眼光,又欣慰21世纪的读者终于读懂了约翰·威廉斯写在字里行间的心灵自白。 翻开美国文...
評分 評分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...
評分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...
評分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...
