In 1972, 18-year-old Mark Moskowitz buys a novel called The Stones of Summer by first-time author Dow Mossman, because an enthusiastic New York Times review persuades him it is the book of a generation. Despite being an avid reader, Moskowitz can't get past the first 20 pages.

Twenty-five years later, Mark rediscovers the book and can't put it down. Enthralled with its story and originality, Mark searches for more copies and other works by the author. He can't find the book. He can't find a record of the author. He can't find anyone who has heard his name, let alone read the book.

Thus begins Stone Reader, an epic film that traces Moskowitz's search for Dow Mossman, the author of our first featured book. The film chronicles filmmaker Moskowitz’s search for Mossman. Pursuing answers to the literary mystery, he crisscrosses the country, meeting, among others, Robert Gottlieb, editor of Catch-22, Frank Conroy, head of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and critic Leslie Fiedler.

Cinematic, humorous and obsessive, Stone Reader is a wistful, powerful affirmation of reading and what it means to us.
