Copy-pasting several of these book recs onto my own endless list as usual. I had my book club read "Enter Ghost" last year, loved it! Pulls off what seems to me one of the hardest feats in fiction, which is represent good art/performance in such a way that the reader really believes that it is good. It was also one of two installments in my abandoned plan to write a song in conversation with every book we read that year ("Gather Stones").
Yeah! That's true, the play within the novel is as interesting as the production around it and everything else. I guess it helps that it's a familiar play reimagined and given new meaning in this context. And notwithstanding its abandonment, sounds like you got two great songs out of that plan.
