Hot Deals: Stone's Next Stop: Alaska
Judy Quinn -- 8/3/98

Houghton Mifflin editorial director Janet Silver has acquired world rights to the next novel by Robert Stone, author of the house's current bestseller Damascus Gate. The novel, set in the northernmost reaches of Alaska's Yukon Valley, will be about a young family of missionaries stationed among an Athabascan tribe in the 1930s. Stone was to leave for Alaska two weeks ago to do research for the book, partly via can ing in the region, but suffered a crimp in his plans -- literally: the elbow pain that arose from his recent 20-city book-signing tour. He's resting for a few weeks, but Houghton passes on his orthopedist's tip to help others: make sure to keep books being signed at the same height to prevent such an injury! Silver made the deal with Stone's agents, Candida Donadio and Neil Olson.
