About this book

John Williams’ Stoner is a piercing and masterful study of an ordinary, in the greatest sense of the word, but deeply moving life. Here is his love, his loss, his ambition, his failure. A quiet, but powerful novel that explores in richly personal detail what it means to be human, this also provides an interior sketch of persevering and the quiet beauty of an otherwise ordinary life.

About the author

John Williams

Taught at the University of Denver and published four novels, one of which sold poorly, went out of print, and then came back from the dead. Stoner follows a Missouri farm boy who discovers English literature almost by accident, becomes a mediocre academic, endures a bad marriage and an institutional feud, and dies largely unremarked.
