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.

評分 評分 評分约翰·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...

我竟然還蠻喜歡這本的！
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。
评分我竟然還蠻喜歡這本的！
评分簡介：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。
评分John Williams的小說寫的真好，這本的確與Stoner有異麯同工之妙
