Poet and novelist John Williams (1922-1994), winner of the U.S. National Book Award, published only four novels, and one of them - the famous "Stoner", a book with an unusual and happy fate. First seen fifty years ago, it suddenly found a second life in the XXI century. The reissue caused in America a tremendous resonance. The world-famous Anna Gavalda took up French translation, and "Stoner" with the inscription on the cover "Read, loved and translated by Anna Gavalda" conquered France. Translations into other languages soon followed, and posthumous fame came to the author. Peasant boy William Stoner suddenly became fascinated by Shakespeare's texts. Refusing to return after college to his parents' farm, he remains at the university to continue his studies, and then to teach. All his decisions, actions, relations with his family, with the woman he loves, and, ultimately, his entire destiny is determined by his passionate love of literature. Hence Anna Gavalda's seemingly surprising confession: "Stoner is me.
