William Stoner wordt aan het einde van de negentiende eeuw geboren als zoon van een arme boerenfamilie. Tot groot verdriet van zijn ouders kiest hij voor een carrière als docent Engels. Hij wijdt zijn leven aan de literatuur en aan de liefde - en faalt op beide fronten. Zijn huwelijk met een vrouw uit een gegoede familie vervreemdt hem verder van zijn ouders, zijn carrière verloopt moeizaam en zijn vrouw en dochter keren zich tegen hem. Een nieuwe liefdesrelatie wordt verbroken om een schandaal op de universiteit te voorkomen. Stoner sterft uiteindelijk in anonimiteit, zoals ook zijn hele leven zich in de marge heeft afgespeeld.

Work Description

Stoner is a 1965 novel by the American writer John Williams. It was reissued in 1972 by Pocket Books, in 2003 by Vintage and in 2006 by New York Review Books Classics with an introduction by John McGahern.

Stoner has been categorized under the genre of the academic novel, or the campus novel. Stoner follows the life of the eponymous William Stoner, his undistinguished career and workplace politics, marriage to his wife, Edith, affair with his colleague, Katherine, and his love and pursuit of literature.

Despite receiving little attention upon its publication in 1965, Stoner has seen a sudden surge of popularity and critical praise since its republication in the 2000s.
