I just like holding my copy of Stoner. Such a great press. The materials are nice, the art is good, and the design is top-notch

Reminded me of "the death of ivan ilyich" and even a bit of the end of Madame Bovary, but all three make me wonder if in death they found peace or accepted a compromise for the sake of "having" peace rather than being at peace.

Been thinking of picking this up from the Botanical bookshop across the street from me. I like EB White and I like writing about nature and gardens. Anyone read it?

I have no idea why the similarity with Death never occured to me before reading this post, perhaps because i read Death after Stoner, but thank you for this.

Does anyone know if the artwork was made specifically with Stoner in mind? Because it fits really well.

Yes, but not in a cowboys and indians way. It has more in common with the transcendentalists than something like Blood Meridian.
