Stoner
by John Williams
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stoner by John Williams left me gobsmacked. I'm still in shock over this brilliant, quietly disturbing and thought provoking novel. A wonderfully written character study that will stay with me for a while. Prepare yourself for the melancholic tone throughout the book but also take notice of the simplicity of the author's words. This little novel packs a punch and will keep you reading in one sitting.
I'm grateful to Anthony Jeselnik's book club for the recommendation.
