La vita di William Stoner, docente di letteratura inglese all’università del Missouri, è segnata da un’apparente “normalità”. Lavoro, matrimonio, una figlia, due amici, un grande amore. Eppure nulla in Stoner è banale, né le sue azioni né tanto meno i suoi sentimenti. Con grazia e impareggiabile sensibilità, John Williams ci regala un personaggio indimenticabile, che lascia una traccia indelebile e profonda.

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.
