“One of the great unheralded 20th-century American novels …Almost perfect.” —Bret Easton Ellis
“The most beautiful book in the world.” —Emma Straub
William Stoner is a poor farmer's son who abandons his university studies in agriculture when he's challenged by his English Literature professor during an in-class discussion and switches majors to that field of study instead. Stoner eventually becomes an assistant professor at the university, a job he keeps for the rest of his life and, in his middle age, endures personal and professional attacks that causes him to confront his life choices and identity.
