Drawing on \u003ci\u003eﾀ la recherche du temps perdu\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAda\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAusterlitz\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e10:04\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e How to Be Both \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe End of the Story\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonid Bilmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350336831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350336834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Leonid Bilmes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071416037631,"sku":"9781350336834","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_797c46eb-bd02-4c77-a08c-7be01f3703ae.jpg?v=1685435967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ekphrasis-memory-and-narrative-after-leonid-bilmes-9781350336834","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
