otterpop started reading Stoner by John Williams (NYRB Classics)

John Williams, John Williams: Stoner (Paperback, 2006, New York Review Books)

William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri …

I read about this one on Reddit I believe as a classic that isn't well known.

@otterpop I love this book and then several years ago I convinced my dad to read it with me as a sort of let's-understand-each-other-better exercise and he hasn't stopped grumbling about how terrible it was since. haha. To each their own I guess. I hope you love it!

@gwcoffey , I just finished and I do love it! It's such a different type of story than those that we are used to.
