One week from today! I'll be giving a daylong workshop on writing the mystery novel at Good Contrivance Farm in Reisterstown, Maryland. Spots still available - click link to sign up. https://t.co/ZAigZOv9ug
Just read this, another recommend from @TheSimonEvans.
Because of the title, and its original publication in 1965, whenever I saw this being fashionably boosted I assumed it was a beatnikky drug-related thing and avoided.
But no! It’s the life story of William Stoner, an unexceptional academic at an American university (before they went completely mental). And that’s it. Nothing massively out of the ordinary happens to him, in the same way it doesn’t happen to most of us. But it’s so, so beautifully written - casual brilliance, no tricks or showing off - and it superbly captures ordinary life with its rumbles and resignations.
‘The greatest novel you’ve never read’ hype sticker - it’s true. Strong recommend.

"The human subject (or rather, you, given that the narrative is written in second person) must determine whether or not they are able to coexist with their animal brethren, or if they are destined to die in the wilderness."
