John Williams (1922-1994) was born and raised in northeast Texas. Despite a talent for writing and acting, Williams flunked out of a local junior college after his first year. He reluctantly joined the war effort, enlisting in the Army Air Corps, and managing to write a draft of his first novel while there. Once home, Williams found a small publisher for the novel and enrolled at the University of Denver, where he was eventually to receive both his B.A. and M.A., and where he was to return as an instructor in 1954. Williams remained on the staff of the creative writing program at the University of Denver until his retirement in 1985. During these years, he was an active guest lecturer and writer, publishing two volumes of poetry and three novels, Butcher’s Crossing, Stoner, and the National Book Award–winning Augustus. In addition to Butcher’s Crossing, NYRB Classics also publishes Stoner.
Michelle Latiolais is a member of the Programs in Writing at the University of California at Irvine where she is associate professor of English. She is the author of the novel Even Now.

In his National Book Award-winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher's Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America. It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, and#64257;red up by Emerson to seek "an original relation to nature," drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher's Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. "Butcher's Crossing "is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher's Crossing to and#64257;nd a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

读后感
终于在国庆期间读完了《屠夫十字镇》。 跟上一本看作者另一部小说《斯通纳》一样简单的剧情。“寻找自我”的主人公安德鲁斯从哈佛辍学，想远离父辈和社会的枷锁来到西部兜一下风。他来到屠夫镇，遇到了想着征服自然的米勒和相信上帝的查理，带上现实派的是施内德，开始他们屠...
评分去年才读了美国文学奠基之作梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》，起先我一直以为它是小说。《瓦尔登湖》并非一本易消化的消遣读物，文中除却梭罗对荒野人生的思考，还有大块大块有关经济政治的议论，读的昏昏然。 梭罗的贡献不只是带动了自然文学的创作，不少作家是直接受《瓦尔登湖》的...
评分 评分2016上半年，一部蒙尘五十年的长篇小说《斯通纳》重新出土，一夕间声名鹊起。出版公司做了大张旗鼓的营销和宣传，文艺网站豆瓣也是铺天盖地的传播与评论。该书作者是美国作家约翰·威廉斯，而对我们读者来说，和这本作品一样，这位学者、作家也是一张陌生的面孔。 约翰·威廉...
评分这部小说曾被誉为“最好的西部小说”，不过作者约翰·威廉斯却很不喜欢这一说法，也拒绝因此被贴上“西部文学大师”的标签。当然，他是对的：就像《红楼梦》不应由于主角们都是一群少男少女而被归类为“青春文学”一样，西部仅仅是《屠夫十字镇》故事发生的背景，但小说本身探...
用户评价
很惊人的作家，这本比不上stoner,不过不错
评分大段大段的翻越山川的描写…真的好枯燥哦…对比Stoner ,好失望…
评分大爱john williams，字字珠玑，从stoner到这本就没有让我失望过。与其说这是一部经典西部拓荒小说，不如说是一部讲述少年从初步尘世对自然抱有不切实际的浪漫幻想 到真正从自然原始力量之中逐渐寻找到真我的bildungsroman。

评分John Williams的小说写的真好，这本的确与Stoner有异曲同工之妙
