John Williams (1922-1994) was an American writer and professor, known for his literary fiction novels. His most recognized work is Stoner (1965), a novel rediscovered years after its publication and considered one of the great gems of 20th century literature. He is also the author of Butcher’s Crossing (1960), a story set in the American West, and Augustus (1972), a historical novel that earned him the National Book Award.

His austere style and exploration of the human condition have been widely praised. Although he did not achieve great popularity in his lifetime, his literary legacy has grown over time, consolidating him as a cult author in contemporary literature.
