具体描述
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, fired 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 paradisiacal 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 find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

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...
评分曾是满腔热血地寻找自我，逃离熟悉的环境，体验陌生的行业，到头来一切只是过往云烟。《屠夫十字镇》的主人公威尔•安德鲁斯正是如此，他离开小镇时，一无所有，带走的只剩那曾经的回忆。 作者约翰•威廉斯，美国作家，作品极少，年初中国引进了他的作品《斯通纳》畅销一时...
评分至今，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...
