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.

Michelle Latiolais is a member of the Programs in Writing at the University of California at Irvine where she is associate professor of English. She is the author of the novel Even Now.

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.

2016上半年,一部蒙尘五十年的长篇小说《斯通纳》重新出土,一夕间声名鹊起。出版公司做了大张旗鼓的营销和宣传,文艺网站豆瓣也是铺天盖地的传播与评论。该书作者是美国作家约翰·威廉斯,而对我们读者来说,和这本作品一样,这位学者、作家也是一张陌生的面孔。 约翰·威廉...

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

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...

大愛john williams,字字珠璣,從stoner到這本就沒有讓我失望過。與其說這是一部經典西部拓荒小說,不如說是一部講述少年從初步塵世對自然抱有不切實際的浪漫幻想 到真正從自然原始力量之中逐漸尋找到真我的bildungsroman。

大段大段的翻越山川的描寫…真的好枯燥哦…對比Stoner ,好失望…

簡介:一個高材生,跑到西部去打牛瞭。被稱為“最好的西部小說”,但個人感覺比較乏味。

John Williams的小說寫的真好,這本的確與Stoner有異麯同工之妙
