Thus with professional ability, does an accomplished author win for an unappealing hero the ungrudging admiration of his audience; and thus does character unfold with unaccustomed intensity ... a first rate piece of work. -- Virginia Quarterly Review

About this title

Review:

"This quietly brilliant book, subtle, slow and painfully real, almost feels like it's written by Stoner himself." -- Eleanor Halls * GQ * "I was stunned by it... It's beautifully written in simple but brilliant prose, a novel of an ordinary life, an examination of a quiet tragedy, the work of a great but little-known writer" -- Ruth Rendell * Guardian * "A masterpiece of sad lucidity, as moving as it is psychologically compelling" -- Peter Kemp * Sunday Times * "It is a remarkably affecting story, told in quiet, unshowy prose" -- Stefan Collini * Times Literary Supplement * "In recent times I have owed more to word of mouth than to the statements of reviewers, when it comes to finding my way to rewarding work published or reissued... This is also true, or truer still, of Stoner" -- Karl Miller * Times Literary Supplement *
