THREE STONER. And Happy New Year POSTCARDS VARIOUS 
We have been providing the staff with hardly breath to friends, enemies and strangers. We take the Stoner on his back. Possibly, many think that if an editor tells you that the recently published book is good, but good good, the good of all life, many insist, is not going to believe. To some extent, is understandable. And even within the office of editor, there is also trying to sell the work in which he believes, in this case those who think this way, they make a mistake.

(And if not at Christmas, New Year is (in case you get bored with the issue of grapes) or kings, or past all these parties, Stoner does not expire).
simply treat yourself.

In the book, published by Baile del Sol, referring to a quote from actor Tom Hanks published in the Times: "It's just a novel about a guy who goes to college and becomes a teacher . But it is one of the most fascinating things I have ever encountered. "
appointment is as simple as this novel is apparently one of the literary works that caught me most in recent times for its lack of artifice and gripping ability.
why I would have liked to talk to Stoner to show my solidarity with their weaknesses, I admire his candor, to say four things about Edith and some more about his daughter, their coworkers, on the chapter of love that lit up the space that was possible. Starring

Grace was a tall slender girl with blond hair that was red, her skin was perfectly soft and her eyes were dark blue, almost purple. Was calm and happy and enjoying things, which gave his father a feeling that was almost like a nostalgic reverence. Sometimes
Grace was playing with neighborhood children, but more often with his father sat in his large studio and watched him while correcting exercises, or reading or writing.

The exchanged gifts on Christmas morning, to his father, who did not smoke, Grace was modeled on the conservative kindergarten attached to the university, a rough ashtray.

They stayed almost all day next to the tree, talking, watching the flashing lights on the ornaments and tinsel and flashing fire on the dark green of fir. "
