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.

至今，约翰 威廉斯目前已经有中文版的三本小说《奥古斯都》、《斯通纳》、《屠夫十字镇》均看完。意想不到的是，三者中豆瓣评分最低的《屠夫十字镇》反而是我最喜欢的。 这本书写的是来自波士顿大城市的受过良好教育的年轻人，来到西部寻找自我的故事。在残忍、荒芜的大自然里...
評分文/夏丽柠 约翰•威廉斯的《屠夫十字镇》貌似一本失败之书，却又隐藏希望。作者威廉斯教授，1922年生于美国的德克萨斯，因写作能力优异而到电台和报社工作。二战爆发后，他作为美国空军去印度和缅甸服役。战争接近尾声时，他先去丹佛读大学，又去密苏里大学读博士。1955年，...
評分美国作家约翰·爱德华·威廉斯（1922-1994）是文学出版界的一个奇特现象。其“学术小说”《斯托纳》(Stoner)近年因法国作家安娜·贾维尔达（Anna Gavalda) 将其翻译成法文，并极力推崇，在欧洲热卖。这部小说写于1965年，此番重出江湖时，出版商宣传其为“你尚未读过的最伟大的...

Stoner給的觸動太大 所以這本隻能感到泛泛 對西部本就沒大興趣 唯一是黑暗中小鎮上的一個prostitude在黑暗中牽Andrew的手穿過無光的通道那一幕 看瞭幾遍
评分John Williams的小說寫的真好，這本的確與Stoner有異麯同工之妙
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?"
评分我竟然還蠻喜歡這本的！
评分確實精彩，發現瞭中文版中刪減的段落，不知道是故意的還是忘記翻譯瞭，，米勒在後形象落差真的太可怕瞭，但確實非常真實令人信服。
