The myth of the making of the American west is dismantled in this tale of a Harvard dropout who seeks adventure hunting one of he last great buffalo herds. An essential anthology of poetry from the period that saw one of the richest flowerings of English verse. Williams’s first novel is a searing look at a man’s relationship with his absent father, and how early trauma manifests throughout one’s life. A special hardback edition of the book to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of its publication that also includes a previously unpublished correspondence between John Williams and his agent about its writing and publication. William Stoner emerges from his dirt-poor Missouri farming family to become an English scholar and an unlikely existential hero, standing in stark relief against an unforgiving world.
