Documentary film "Stone Reader" details author Dow Mossman's only novel, Stones of Summer (1972). Anyone read this? The movie made it seem pretty interesting.

I never read that book.

Me neither. Thought the docco was fairly good, only too self-indulgent at times.

I actually wasn't that impressed with the film - maybe because Mark Moskowitz seemed a pretty typical "collector", whose taste in books I didn't necessarily trust. But Dow Mossman seemed kind of interesting. Anyway, I ordered this book. We'll see how it goes.

I rarely trust Amazon reviews, but it doesn't seem the book has been received terribly well on there.
