"Stoner“ by John Williams

Dear Book Club friends

In November we meet to discussion the Book „Stoner“ by John Williams, selected by Antonio .

Important note for first-time attendees: if you decide to attend, the group expects you to have read the book and present your opinion.

A short description from Amazon.com

William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.
