Stone Reader

"Stone Reader" is a constantly absorbing and moving film about the power of books to change our lives and one man's passionate search to solve a real-life literary mystery. In 1972, Mark Moskowitz, then aged 18, read a rave review of a novel called "The Stones of Summer". He bought it but couldn't get past the first few pages. 25 years later he tried again, and this time fell in love with it. Looking for other works by author Dow Mossman, he found no mention of either Mossman or his novel, which was long out of print. Thus begins one of the most enthralling mystery stories of recent years. Travelling the country, he befriends critics, agents, and editors in the quest to discover how such a well-received book and it's author could have vanished completely from the scene.
