FIRST EDITION. Despite receiving little attention upon its initial publication in 1965, Stoner experienced a remarkable resurgence in the 2000s, championed by authors such as Julian Barnes, Ian McEwan, Bret Easton Ellis, and John McGahern. In 2013, it was named Waterstones Book of the Year, and The New Yorker hailed it as "the greatest American novel you've never heard of."
