Discussing the ancient notion of ekphrasis, this study examines the interpenetration of literary and non-literary art. The author demonstrates how ekphrasis is useful for reading contemporary novels that feature non-representative, conceptual works of art by taking a close look at the works of Don DeLillo, Paul Auster and Tom McCarthy.
