Stoner: A Novel by John Williams
'A beautiful, sad, utterly convincing account of an entire life' - Ian McEwan
William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher, marries the wrong woman, and lives a quiet life. After his death, his colleagues remember him rarely.
Yet with truthfulness, compassion, and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value - of the conflicts, defeats, and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history - reclaiming the significance of an individual life.
'A brilliant, beautiful, inexorably sad, wise and elegant novel' - Nick Hornby
'A terrific novel of echoing sadness' - Julian Barnes
