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.
近來大熱的一本舊書 確實帶著過去年代的剋製和優美。一生不過某些片斷而已 然後就過去瞭。
評分年度心碎圖書,從軟弱到反抗幾乎用盡一生,到最後也草草結束,很少有高潮,看似平淡無奇,但處處都讓人心痛。
評分多年前讀瞭中文譯本,沒什麼感覺。這次讀的是英文原著,很被震撼。這說明翻譯確實是很難的。
評分Stoner's heroism is delicately intertwined with his bitter failures, it is a secret power that makes him invulnerable. After all, he has achieved everything he truly treasured throughout his life. Yes, that power is his ever-lasting desire and never-dying awe towards beauty, knowledge and love itself.
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.。
之前还在说着没有好时机读这本书,然后就忽然来了,是天冷了,戴着新买的耳机躺床上听,我的泪点总在那些关于过去的闪回的片段:噢,还记得那时候我们下课一起去喝酒吗。 1 Stoner被作者John Williams称作"an escape into reality",是逃入不是逃离,很奇怪对不对? 这本书在成...
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...
