Book 0051
Stoner by John Edward Williams
Donated by Jane Williamson, who says...
It is breathtaking in its recognisable sense of awakening and gut wrenching awkwardness and sadness. A protagonist that is achingly familiar and a story that resonates as reading and books opens up a view to a bright, complex and joyous world for William Stoner. Reality can’t and won’t match up presenting a identifiable portrait of true sadness. It is a book that grabs you and won’t let go.
