Stoner: A Novel

A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. His life is quiet, and after his death his colleagues remember him rarely. Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value. Stoner tells of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history, and reclaims the significance of an individual life. Have you read it yet?
