About This Item
From the collection of Oscar-winning director, actor, and producer Tony Bill, whose work includes "The Sting" (1973), "Soldier in the Rain" (1963), "Shampoo" (1975), and "Five Corners" (1987).
Moskowitz' film is a documentary of his year-long odyssey in finding Dow Mossman and trying to discover what had happened to him and his book. As noted in the film, the book was released, lauded as a masterpiece, and summarily forgotten.
Near Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket.
Synopsis
The Stones of Summer is a novel by American writer Dow Mossman. Both the novel and Mossman are also subjects of Mark Moskowitz's Slamdance award-winning film, Stone Reader. The Stones of Summer, first printed in 1972, quickly went out of print after its publisher Bobbs Merrill filed for bankruptcy. Because of this (and, it is speculated, a subsequent lack of marketing), this "marvelous book" (reviewer John Seelye in The New York Times Book Review), saw little return.
