I think that any work of fiction that is able to capture convincingly the way Williams does in this book, this duality and this tension, which to me is pretty much the essence of life itself, is fiction of the highest order.

Stoner by John Williams REVIEW
a book that I actually had some issues with. I didn't really love it, but it's definitely an ambitious and great novel in its own right.
