The song that haunts Go-Betweens frontman Robert Forster
The singer-songwriter has written his debut novel, expanding upon a haunting song about two musicians on the run.
Robert Forster, the singer-songwriter and frontman of the Go-Betweens, has officially written his first novel. Transitioning from songwriting to long-form fiction, the musician is exploring a new medium for his storytelling. The project marks a new milestone for Forster, who is now expanding his creative repertoire beyond the music of his career.[1][2][3][4]
The inspiration for this debut novel stems directly from Forster's own musical catalog, specifically a track that has continued to haunt him. Spinning out of the original song's narrative, the book delves into the lives of two musicians who are on the run. By adapting this lyrical concept into a full-length novel, Forster offers a deeper exploration of the characters and the story he first introduced through his music.[1][2][3][4]
