When he had thought of death before, he had thought of it either as a literary event or as the slow, quiet attrition of time against imperfect flesh. He had not thought of it as the explosion of violence upon a battlefield, as the gush of blood from the ruptured throat.

i found this novel at the right time. somehow i never thought i’d grow old enough to become a collegiate girl. i’ve spent years devoid of a desire not born of physiological need yet still in possession of utmost importance, resulting in a sense of listlessness and uncertainty in regards to what awaits me in the foreseeable future. i think william stoner is what i need to hear. so far, i have high hopes for this.
