18. "Now Playing at Canterbury" by Vance Bourjaily

It's about the production of a modern opera to inaugurate the new performing arts hall at a midwestern state university, early in the '70's. Characters include faculty, students, townies & visiting artists. They interact in a variety of ways while putting on the show.

Oh, & each chapter features one of the characters telling a story. The style & tone of each tale varies as much as the stories a group of pilgrims told each other one spring on their way to Canterbury.

Very rich & heartbreaking at the end. It's out of print but available 2nd hand.
