"Photographic Ekphrasis in Cuban-American Fiction offers new readings of Cuban-American
novels and autobiographies, demonstrating that a focus on photographs (alluded to,
analyzed, and/or obsessively recurrent in the narrative discourse) provides fresh
insights into these texts. The study introduces the concept of photographic ekphrasis
as a reading tool for diasporic literature and argues that visual images are important
components of narratives about dislocation, nostalgia, and transcultural experience.
Authors treated in depth include Carlos Eire, Cristina García, Oscar Hijuelos, Roberto
G. Fernández, Ana Menéndez, Achy Obejas, and Gustavo Pérez Firmat. Photographic Ekphrasis
in Cuban-American Fiction offers an original perspective on Cuban-American literature
and contributes to the scholarship on ekphrasis and on the interactions between photography
and narrative"
