This book explores the relationship between ekphrasis and memory in
the novel. Drawing on A la recherche du temps perdu, Leonid Bilmes
considers how Vladimir Nabokov, W. G. Sebald, Ben Lerner, Ali Smith
and Lydia Davis have employed and reshaped Proust's way of
depicting the recollected past. In Ada, Austerlitz, 10:04, How to
Be Both and The End of the Story, memory images are variously
transposed into intermedial descriptions that inform the narrator's
story, just as they serve to shape the reader's own remembrance of
each of these narratives. Ekphrasis in the novel after Proust,
Bilmes argues, acts as a distinct site within the text where past
and present, self and other, image and text, seeing and hearing,
are ever on the brink of reconciliation. The book surveys a wide
field of critical inquiry, encompassing classical theorizations of
ekphrasis, philosophical explorations of memory and visuality, as
well as seminal studies of image-text relations by, among others,
W. J. T. Mitchell, Jean-Luc Nancy and Liliane Louvel. Bilmes's
compelling dialogue with theory and literature evinces the
underexplored bond between ekphrasis and memory in the contemporary
novel.
