A Missouri farm boy becomes a university English teacher and lives what looks like a defeated life, a cold marriage, a stalled career, one great love, borne with a quiet integrity that becomes heroic.

An occasional student who comes upon the name may wonder idly who William Stoner was, but he seldom pursues his curiosity beyond a casual question.
