Michael C. Hall

The story of William Stoner, English professor, an unremarkable man by the standards of his world (early 20th century Missouri). Its plain and unerring truth is astonishing. Though undemonstrative and remote, I experience such a quiet and sublime intimacy with the protagonist. It’s a perfect novel.

This is a perfect book. It's very hard to use any words to describe why I love it so. It is perfect.

Nia Vardalos

I usually shy away from books that are so much about the male experience, but I continually marveled at Mr. Williams's ability to rivet the reader, and found myself audibly groaning at the lack of choices made by dear, sweet, myopic Stoner.
