近來大熱的一本舊書 確實帶著過去年代的剋製和優美。一生不過某些片斷而已 然後就過去瞭。
評分讀瞭一半被我落在飛機上瞭。。其實整個故事就是摩羯座的一生。。
評分年度心碎圖書,從軟弱到反抗幾乎用盡一生,到最後也草草結束,很少有高潮,看似平淡無奇,但處處都讓人心痛。
評分A rich, sombre, finely hewn novel that is admirably simple, for tackling life's true sadness with transcedent serenity and existential wit, for seeing life whole without delusion or despair. With a pellucid and reticent prose, it addresses life's inevitable mediocrity and obscurity, while evokes passion and purity in seeking an adequate existence.
評分(Reminds me of Russell's) Knowledge & Love & (pity for) human suffering. Still think he should have done more for his daughter.
John Williams was born on August 29, 1922 in Clarksville, Texas. He served in the United States Army Air Force from 1942 to 1945 in China, Burma and India. The Swallow Press published his first novel, Nothing But the Night, in 1948, as well as his first book of poems, The Broken Landscape, in 1949. Macmillan published Williams' second novel, Butcher's Crossing, in 1960. After recieving his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Denver, and his Ph.D from the University of Missouri, Williams returned in 1954 to the University of Denver where he taught literature and the craft of writing for thirty years. In 1963 Williams received a fellowship to study at Oxford University where where he received a Rockefeller grant enabling him to travel and research in Italy for his last novel, Augustus, published in 1972. John Williams died in Arkansas on March 4, 1994.
William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known.
And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.
John Williams's luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.

評分31岁这一年,我在读《斯通纳》。 而31岁的斯通纳,正做什么呢? 大约正带着那副圆眼镜,穿着不合身的灯芯绒外套 在清晨,穿过无人的小路,匆匆赶往大学的图书馆 “他游历过排排书架,置身于几千册图书中 呼吸着皮革、衣服、干燥的书页释放出的发霉的气息 就像闻着某种来自异国...
