Mossman, Dow The Stones of Summer
Overlook Press 2004 1585675172 / 9781585675173 Trade Paperback Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 587 pages. Synopsis: Originally published to glowing reviews in 1972, Dow Mossman's extraordinary debut is a sweeping coming-of-age tale that developed a passionate cult following. It recently inspired the award-winning documentary film Stone Reader, described by Peter Rainer of New York magazine as a marvelous literary thriller that gets at the way books can stay with people forever. Rendered with breathtaking artistry and emotional depth, The Stones of Summer captures the beauty and pain of postwar America. Its vivid evocation of culture-void Iowa in the '50s and '60s reveals in layer after layer of richly observed detail the maturation the very soul of an artist. Its rediscovery was the catalyst for one filmmaker to confront his faith in the power of great literature to endure, and it can now be embraced by readers everywhere. The New York Times Book Review - John Seelye "The Stones of Summer" cannot possibly be called a promising first novel for the simple reason that it is such a marvelous achievement that it puts forth much more than mere promise. Fulfillment is perhaps the best word, fulfillment at the first stroke, which is so often the sign of superior talent.... Dow Mossman's novel is a whole river of words fed by a torrential imagination.... For me at least, reading "The Stones of Summer" was crossing another Rubicon, discovering a different sensibility, a brave new world of conciousness. "The Stones of Summer" is a holy book, and it burns with a sacred Byzantine fire, a generational fire, moon-fire, stone-fire. Biography: Dow Mossman published his first novel, a coming-of-age tale called The Stones of Summer, in 1972 and was never heard from again. Until now. Thanks to Stone Reader, the documentary about a fan's quest for the enigmatic author, Mossman's book is back in print -- and back in the spotlight.
