Literary sub-genre: Novel or play retells a classic from the perspective of a secondary character or characters. The new story tracks the the original but shifts some of its action offstage. The two versions intertwine, each now commenting on the other.

Examples:
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Tom Stoppard).
James (Percival Everett).

Are there others? There must be.

@JamesGleick I'm trying to sell the idea of The tail of Benji, from the prince's dog's point of view.

@JamesGleick does it count if it's the same author (e.g. Durrell's Alexandria Quartet)?
