I’ve never thought I’d be a lit kind of guy. I mainly read non fiction and when I do read fiction, it has always been either plot based or idea based. I saw so many glowing reviews for John Williams’ Stoner that I took the chance and read it. Very surprised! First the story is something I’d never read. The son of a farmer in the early 20th century who goes on to be a professor of literature, not my bag man. Yet John Williams just blow me away with his prose, his characters and the mood that seems so real.
So I was pleasantly surprised by John Williams and now I’m looking for other literature to show me how closed minded I have been about the genre.
Thanks
