Just learned that John Williams's STONER, maybe the greatest US academic novel, is a bestseller in the Netherlands: http://www.themillions.com/2013/06/a-forgotten-bestseller-the-saga-of-john-williamss-stoner.html …
@karpmj That's an amazing story. Stoner is a real underground classic in America. Hardly anyone has read it.
