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.
具体描述
读后感
和大部分人一样，我也是在看了《斯通纳》以后，才认识了John Williams，在读完《斯通纳》后，觉得十分意犹未尽，于是看起了这本《屠夫十字镇》。 或许我们每个人都曾是安德鲁斯，厌倦了日常生活，觉得琐碎的生活是压抑的、丑陋的、懒散的、毫无意义的，我们渴望冲破这样的束缚...

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
评分确实精彩，发现了中文版中删减的段落，不知道是故意的还是忘记翻译了，，米勒在后形象落差真的太可怕了，但确实非常真实令人信服。
评分a patient echoing to the impressive quotation by Melville“Here we find Nature to be the circumstance which dwarfs every other circumstance,and judges like a god all men that come to her…But who froze to death my teamster on the prairie?And who made an idiot of Peter the Willy Boy?"
