William Stoner bliver i slutningen af det nittende århundrede født ind i en fattig bondefamilie i Missouri, USA. Som ung går han på landbrugsskole, men drages af litteraturens verden. Han vælger det akademiske liv som lærer, hvor bøgerne forbliver hans faste holdepunkt – også når modgang og skuffelser truer med at ødelægge hans tilværelse og karriere.

Stoner er et fascinerende, velskrevet og rørende portræt af en helt almindelig mand, hvis liv man ikke kan undgå at blive berørt af. Det er en roman om identitet, om livet og om de valg, vi træffer.

Romanen blev første gang udgivet i USA i 1965 og siden genudgivet i 2006, hvorefter mange forlag rundt om i verden fik øjnene op for bogen, og den begyndte at figurere på bestsellerlisterne. Efter en stille modtagelse af førsteudgaven har Stoner endelig fået den brede anerkendelse, den fortjener.

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.
