In Search of the Magic Theater begins as something of a female version of Hesse’s renowned Steppenwolf, but its dual narrators find themselves grappling with unexpected challenges in their search for creative and personal fulfillment.
BOOK CLUB POTENTIAL: Lots of topical discussion points relating to gender roles, generational tension, love and marriage, pursuing one's dream, drug use, power dynamics.
FOR READERS OF WOMEN'S FICTION: Two strong female protagonists deal with issues of personal identity, career, and family/friend/romantic relationships.
FOR PERFORMING ARTS FANS: Set in the world of theater and music, this lively work features the loves and friendships of an experimental playwright, a classical cellist, and guitarists who span classical, jazz, and rock.
