About Stoner
Stoner is a novel that tells the life story of William Stoner, a seemingly ordinary American man from central Missouri. Although he initially seems bound to follow in his farm-owning father’s footsteps, his time at university nudges him in the direction of his true calling: a life defined by a love of literature. Abandoning his agricultural studies to become a teacher of English literature, the novel follows Stoner through marriage, fatherhood, enmity with one of his colleagues, estrangement from his wife, an affair with one of his students and eventually his death, in a story of everyday heroism and humanity that reflects many aspects of the author’s own life.
