John Williams Libri

William Stoner ha una vita che sembra essere assai piatta e desolata. Non si allontana mai per più di centocinquanta chilometri da Booneville, il piccolo paese rurale in cui è nato, mantiene lo stesso lavoro per tutta la vita, per quasi quarantanni è infelicemente sposato alla stessa donna, ha sporadici contatti con l'amata figlia e per i suoi genitori è un estraneo, per sua ammissione ha soltanto due amici, uno dei quali morto in gioventù. Non sembra materia troppo promettente per un romanzo e tuttavia, in qualche modo, quasi miracoloso, John Williams fa della vita di William Stoner una storia appassionante, profonda e straziante. Come riesce l'autore in questo miracolo letterario? A oggi ho letto Stoner tre volte e non sono del tutto certo di averne colto il segreto, ma alcuni aspetti del libro mi sono apparsi chiari. E la verità è che si possono scrivere dei pessimi romanzi su delle vite emozionanti e che la vita più silenziosa, se esaminata con affetto, compassione e grande cura, può fruttare una straordinaria messe letteraria. È il caso che abbiamo davanti. (Dalla postfazione di Peter Cameron)

WINNER OF THE 1973 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD By the Author of Stoner In Augustus, his third great novel, John Williams took on an entirely new challenge, a historical narrative set in classical Rome, exploring the life of the founder of the Roman Empire. To tell the story, Williams turned to the epistolary novel, a genre that was new to him, transforming and transcending it just as he did the western in Butcher’s Crossing and the campus novel in Stoner. Augustus is the final triumph of a writer who has come to be recognized around the world as an American master.
