Stoner (1965), John Williams's third novel, questions and complicates mythologised versions of modern American identity and way of life. The story moves through two World Wars, the Great Depression following the Wall Street crash, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New-Deal America, a prolonged time of social upheaval throughout the world.
