Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1965, poi quasi dimenticato, Stoner di John E. Williams è stato ripubblicato nel 2006 dalla «New York Review Books», suscitando un rinnovato interesse da parte della critica e dei lettori.
Stoner è il racconto della vita di un uomo tra gli anni Dieci e gli anni Cinquanta del Novecento: William Stoner, figlio di contadini, che si affranca quasi suo malgrado dal destino di massacrante lavoro nei campi che lo attende, coltiva la passione per gli studi letterari e diventa docente universitario. Si sposa, ha una figlia, affronta varie vicissitudini professionali e sentimentali, si ammala, muore. È un eroe della normalità che negli ingranaggi di una vita minima riesce ad attingere il senso del lavoro, dell’amore, della passione che dà forma a un’esistenza.

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.
