Another masterpiece by John Williams, author of "Stoner". The difference from "Stoner" is that he wants to understand the reality of the world. They are both a story about perseverance in the face of meaninglessness, about failure caused by naivety. Unlike Stoner, who sticks to his faith, this is a young man who is passionate and curious about the unknown, eager to seek the real world: what he believes in is not the belief of Emerson and Thoreau, but the seeing behind it - except for wilderness and experience, nothing is more sincere and charming than the inner impulse. At the same time, he is the same as Stoner in a sense, they have achieved self-realization. Perhaps, each of us has this kind of impulse and passion, which has made us who we are today. A deep meditation on the young mind. The author John Williams said that when a young man who dropped out of Harvard came to the West and saw nature and the true appearance of the wilderness, what would happen to him? This is where the novel begins. "Butcher's Crossing" tells the story of Andrews, a young man who dropped out of Harvard in 1873. Influenced by the natural concepts of Emerson and Thoreau, he came to Butcher's Crossing with the urge to find beauty, hope and vitality, and followed the hunter Miller and two others (Schneider the skinner and Charlie Hogg, who worked with the camp) into the Colorado mountains to hunt bison. Each of them embarked on this uncertain journey with different purposes and ideas. They experienced many difficulties and even lost one person's life. They returned to Butcher's Crossing Town, but earth-shaking changes had taken place here...

The busiest street in this town is only three miles from west to east. There are various shops on both sides of the street, including pedicure, beauty, dentistry, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, karaoke bars... It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the five internal organs. The street is not wide, only six or seven meters at most. With shops one after another, walking along it feels like walking into a narrow alley. Looking from one end to the other, you can see all kinds of signs, large and small, with no uniform specifications or uniform colors. If there's a slightly stronger wind, there's always an upsetting trembling in the streets, or a sense of insecurity. Because the prosperity here attracts people from within ten miles or eight miles, or in other words, because people from within ten miles or eight miles like to come here, it creates the prosperity here. In fact, any lively place looks like this. It's just that the buildings in big cities are taller and the neon signs are brighter. In comparison, the prosperity of the town is more simple and local. If there is something special about this street, perhaps it is the dozens of towering ancient poplar trees. I can't tell how old the poplar trees are. Each one is more than one meter in diameter. It can't be grown in three to five years. Gu Yangsi gave the street a sense of shade and also gave the whole town a sense of antiquity. Under their shade, even in the dog days of summer, there is always a piece of natural shade in front of some shops. Nowadays, people in small towns have also learned to follow fashion, especially the girls in the shops. They are all thin and tender, with beautiful flowers, earrings so big that they can be used as bracelets, lips as red as if they just drank chicken blood, eye circles as dark as pandas, and nails so long that they can practice Nine Yin White Bone Claws. They smile like flowers in front of customers, but when there are no customers, they look like fake models, standing by the shelves. To be honest, I don't like shopping. Unlike the women at work, I can walk into the store they want to enter without missing a beat with my eyes closed. The only place I was familiar with was a small restaurant because I often went there for breakfast. But recently, I don't even go to that small restaurant.
