Geschreven bij Stoner
The paperback version is a very nice lightweight way of reading a rather 'heavy' story. Stoner is a man who lives so much according to his morals & principles that you would almost despise him, were it not for his stoic and nearly heroic efforts to do the right thing. The almost business like writing style of Williams underline the extreme emotions Stoner has to go through, which made the reader (me) sympathize even more with the lead character. I would have liked a little more elaboration on how the, seemingly unlikely, friendship with his two friends and co-students developed. On the other hand, this was indeed only a small factor in an otherwise incredibly well written story of a man who seemed to estrange all that he loved. Painful and at the same time unbelievably insightful!
