Book excerpt: Sarah Hoyt was awakened by the sound of screaming and gunshots one predawn morning in February 1704 in the westernmost outpost of Deerfield in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The dreaded attack by the French and Indians from New France was really happening, and soon, she was led with more than a hundred of her friends and family members who had survived the massacre three hundred miles north to New France where she was separated from all of her surviving family except one of her brothers and a childhood friend, Ebenezer Nims, and sent to live in a Huron Indian village near Quebec. Would she ever be rescued to see her beloved family members and fianc, Joseph, again? After many years in captivity, would she be forced to go back on her promise to her father and her pastor that she would never give up her Puritan beliefs? Would she be forced to marry one of the French soldiers who had taken part in the raid, or did God have other plans for her?

Download or read book The Man Who Wrote the Perfect Novel written by Charles J. Shields and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Stoner was published in 1965, the novel sold only a couple of thousand copies before disappearing with hardly a trace. Yet John Williams’s quietly powerful tale of a Midwestern college professor, William Stoner, whose life becomes a parable of solitude and anguish eventually found an admiring audience in America and especially in Europe. The New York Times called Stoner “a perfect novel,” and a host of writers and critics, including Colum McCann, Julian Barnes, Bret Easton Ellis, Ian McEwan, Emma Straub, Ruth Rendell, C. P. Snow, and Irving Howe, praised its artistry. The New Yorker deemed it “a masterly portrait of a truly virtuous and dedicated man.” The Man Who Wrote the Perfect Novel traces the life of Stoner’s author, John Williams. Acclaimed biographer Charles J. Shields follows the whole arc of Williams’s life, which in many ways paralleled that of his titular character, from their shared working-class backgrounds to their undistinguished careers in the halls of academia. Shields vividly recounts Williams’s development as an author, whose other works include the novels Butcher’s Crossing and Augustus (for the latter, Williams shared the 1972 National Book Award). Shields also reveals the astonishing afterlife of Stoner, which garnered new fans with each American reissue, and then became a bestseller all over Europe after Dutch publisher Lebowski brought out a translation in 2013. Since then, Stoner has been published in twenty-one countries and has sold over a million copies.
