Скачать или смотреть Read Stoner by John Williams

This video reviews the short novel “Stoner” by John Williams. It explains that this novel is essential for anybody interested in an academic or an intellectual life. Many scenes and situations in the book will allow you to think through your priorities and your choices as a scholar.
Stoner is a very hard-working man. He came from a family of simple farmers and managed to become a professor of literature. But despite his discipline and dedication, his life is a failure. The video tries to examine why.
I argue that Stoner lacked the luxury of being able to make choices, to hesitate, and to dream. When he faced a challenge he couldn’t overcome through hard work, he gave up instead of trying to find another way. This reading of the book has implications for the proper role of education throughout life.
