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.

如果把《屠夫十字镇》当西部小说看,但里面没有英雄,个人主义的光辉在几个人物身上显得孱弱,对这一类型构成了温和的反讽。年轻人安德鲁斯来到屠夫十字镇,出资与人外出捕猎而因大雪受困山谷,熬过一整个冬天后,回来后发现集镇突然衰败。 将近一年的时光里,超验主义引导下回...

John Williams的小說寫的真好,這本的確與Stoner有異麯同工之妙

我竟然還蠻喜歡這本的!

簡介:一個高材生,跑到西部去打牛瞭。被稱為“最好的西部小說”,但個人感覺比較乏味。

大愛john williams,字字珠璣,從stoner到這本就沒有讓我失望過。與其說這是一部經典西部拓荒小說,不如說是一部講述少年從初步塵世對自然抱有不切實際的浪漫幻想 到真正從自然原始力量之中逐漸尋找到真我的bildungsroman。
