dbo:abstract
  • Summer of '42 is a novel written by Herman Raucher, based upon his screenplay and personal experience. In 2002 TCPalms interview, Herman Raucher mentions that the 1971 film with the same title gave birth to the book Summer of '42. Raucher wrote the screenplay for the 1971 film version. The 1971 movie was written first. When the film was in post-production, someone told him to write the book about Summer of '42 to help publicize the picture. So Raucher wrote the book in about three or four weeks. The book became a bestseller prior to the film's release, so the film was publicized as "from Herman Raucher's national best seller." Both the film and this book are based on the real incidents that happened during the summer of 1942 in Raucher's life. Raucher's novelization of the screenplay, with the dedication, "To those I love, past and present," serves more as the tribute to his friend Oscar Seltzer that he had intended the film to be, with the focus of the book being more on the two boys' relationship than Raucher's relationship with Dorothy. The book also mentions Seltzer's death, which is absent from the film adaptation. (en)
