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.

讀後感
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...
評分简直是太他妈精彩了！！！！！结尾部分还会再读几遍的！（但我并不想再打字了，但一定要写够140字。。。。那我只好：）简直是太他妈精彩了！！！！！结尾部分还会再读几遍的！简直是太他妈精彩了！！！！！结尾部分还会再读几遍的！简直是太他妈精彩了！！！！！结尾部分还会再...
評分 評分至今，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...
用戶評價
John Williams的小說寫的真好，這本的確與Stoner有異麯同工之妙
评分Stoner給的觸動太大 所以這本隻能感到泛泛 對西部本就沒大興趣 唯一是黑暗中小鎮上的一個prostitude在黑暗中牽Andrew的手穿過無光的通道那一幕 看瞭幾遍
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a patient echoing to the impressive quotation by Melville“Here we find Nature to be the circumstance which dwarfs every other circumstance,and judges like a god all men that come to her…But who froze to death my teamster on the prairie?And who made an idiot of Peter the Willy Boy?"
