摘要:《斯通纳》被《纽约客》誉为你从未听说过的最伟大的美国小说，它经常被认为是一个失败人生的写照。但这个结论如何与文学的运作相一致呢?这篇文章探讨了斯通纳是如何构建主人公的生活的，声称这部小说产生了一种比失败的人生判断所允许的更复杂和更引人注目的生活感觉:一种与我们如何阅读文学作品以及我们使其对生活的意义有关的感觉。

"Life" in John Williams's Stoner

Abstract:Known as the greatest American novel you've never heard of, thanks to the New Yorker, Stoner is often thought of as presenting a failed life. But how does this verdict align with the workings of literature? This article examines how Stoner constructs the life of its protagonist, claiming that the novel generates a sense of life more complex and compelling than a life-as-failure judgment permits: one that relates to how we read literature and the significance we enable it to have for living.

期刊介绍： For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy. Philosophy and Literature challenges the cant and pretensions of academic priesthoods by publishing an assortment of lively, wide-ranging essays, notes, and reviews that are written in clear, jargon-free prose. In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
