William Stoner er født mot slutten av det 19. århundre i en lutfattig bondefamilie i Missouri. Han blir sendt til universitetet for å studere agronomi, men forelsker seg i stedet i litteratur og omfavner livet som akademiker. Etter som årene går, møter Stoner motgang på motgang: Hans ekteskap inn i en respektabel familie fremmedgjør ham fra foreldrene, hans karriere bremses, hans kone og datter vender seg vekk fra ham og en skjellsettende forelskelse blir satt under press fra trusselen om skandale. Hans liv er stille, og etter hans død er det få som husker ham. Likevel, med oppriktighet, medfølelse og en intens kraft avdekker denne romanen universelle verdier. Stoner forteller om de konflikter, tap og seire som mennesker gjennomlever selv om de ikke noteres i historiebøkene og tar tilbake betydningen av hvert enkelt menneskes liv. Denne dypt rørende, lysende romanen er en stille, men perfekt leseropplevelse.

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.
