La vita di William Stoner, docente di letteratura inglese all’università del Missouri, è segnata da un’apparente “normalità”. Lavoro, matrimonio, una figlia, due amici, un grande amore. Eppure nulla in Stoner è banale, né le sue azioni né tanto meno i suoi sentimenti. Con grazia e impareggiabile sensibilità, John Williams ci regala un personaggio indimenticabile, che lascia una traccia indelebile e profonda.

Handlar inte alls om nån som röker weed utan en man som heter William Stoner. Får följa honom kronologisk från uppväxt fram till livets slut. Om passion, vänskap, äktenskap, föräldraskap, rivalitet, arbete. Om livet bara.
An unexpected find by Dave for our Kindle and possibly one of the most depressing stories I have read! Don't get me wrong. I loved the book and the writing is incredible but the lead character's life is very sad in that the personal cost to him of brief episodes of happiness is intense sorrow. The descriptions of certain classes of people at the beginning of the 20th century, particularly Stoner's wife Edith, are fantastic, as is the portrayal of his parents and their isolation. A great book but not a light read!
