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.

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.

读后感
在谈论以品钦、德里罗为代表的当代作家作品时，文学评论家詹姆斯•伍德使用了“歇斯底里现实主义”的断语。他认为，现代派小说无论从结构还是篇幅都称得上是“巨无霸”。作家们雄心勃勃，一方面沿袭狄更斯以来严整的叙事体系，一方面穷尽后现代把戏颠覆前人，洋洋洒洒近千页...
评分如果把《屠夫十字镇》当西部小说看，但里面没有英雄，个人主义的光辉在几个人物身上显得孱弱，对这一类型构成了温和的反讽。年轻人安德鲁斯来到屠夫十字镇，出资与人外出捕猎而因大雪受困山谷，熬过一整个冬天后，回来后发现集镇突然衰败。 将近一年的时光里，超验主义引导下回...
评分 评分约翰·威廉斯的小说产量很少，题材却遍及多样，中国读者最熟悉，也是他现在最著名的是几十年后被重新掘出，成为“新经典”的学院题材小说《斯通纳》，此外他还有历史小说《奥古斯都》和西部小说《屠夫十字镇》等作品。斯通纳本人是拒绝“西部小说”这个名号的，虽然印上这种标...

确实精彩，发现了中文版中删减的段落，不知道是故意的还是忘记翻译了，，米勒在后形象落差真的太可怕了，但确实非常真实令人信服。
评分大段大段的翻越山川的描写…真的好枯燥哦…对比Stoner ,好失望…

评分大爱john williams，字字珠玑，从stoner到这本就没有让我失望过。与其说这是一部经典西部拓荒小说，不如说是一部讲述少年从初步尘世对自然抱有不切实际的浪漫幻想 到真正从自然原始力量之中逐渐寻找到真我的bildungsroman。
评分简介：一个高材生，跑到西部去打牛了。被称为“最好的西部小说”，但个人感觉比较乏味。
