I'm seeking a single English word I recently learned (and then promptly forgot!) --a specialized technical term meaning fictional writing focused around the depiction of another work of art (e.g. a painting, piece of music or a play).
Example: Walter Moers' ______ book The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books really strongly evoked the sensation of sitting in a theater, watching a play.
This is a real English word, but not one in common general use --you would expect it in an academic context, or to be used by a professional critic.

Ode to, nod to, homage (French loanword now incorporated into English), or their more pejorative cousins, like rip-off, etc?

No, this is a technical term. I've edited my question to clarify.

Thank you! It proved to be hard to search, and the closest thing I could think of was "eidetic" which is not quite the same.
