One of the most interesting novels about film spectatorship is J. B.
Priestly's "Albert Goes Through" in which a feverish film viewer believes he
enters the screen (a la Buster Keaton in "Sherlock Junior"). The novel's
from the early 1930s, I think.  In a more postmodern vein, I'd recommend
Robert Coover's collection of short pieces, "A Night at the Movies." There's
a bibliography of Hollywood Novels by Anthony Slide and a good bibliography
and discussion in a dissertation by Carolyn See.
