  1. 1. The Stones Of Summer

    A lyrical, hallucinatory coming-of-age tale about a young Midwesterner whose life is shaped by an intense friendship and an obsessive drive to capture and preserve moments on tape; drifting through small-town rites—baseball, music and pop culture—while confronting violence, loss and the burdens of memory, he struggles to form an identity and an artful truth amid a fragmented, feverish narrative voice.
