"Stoner" has been translated into many languages, has become a true literary phenomenon, and has won fans all over the world, including Julian Barnes and Anna Gavalda. William Stoner was born into a poor family in Missouri. It would seem his fate was predetermined: from early childhood, he would work on his parents' farm.
