John Williams

I read Stoner a few years ago and agree with almost everything in this most recent attempt to resurrect Williams and his reputation. (It's true that Williams shares something with James Salter, though A Sport and a Pastime is a better book in the end than Stoner. I've often thought of Williams as being a lesser William Maxwell, whose So Long, See You Tomorrow is, incidentally, one devastating book.)
