Michael Wood in Princeton's English Department is a first-rate Nabokovian
with a fine knowledge of French literature, icnluding Proust (and, since you
mention oracles, has written a book on them!), although he must be close to
retiring. If Edmund White is still in the US (teaching writing or
literature?), he also is a fine reader of Nabokov and has written a book on
Proust.

EDNOTE. I don't think Edmund White is teaching. In Paris, last I heard.

Dear List,
It is with the hope of eliciting arrows and oracles that I write with the
following request:
Where, within the (yes, admitted) confines of the U.S. University offering
doctoral programs in literature, are the scholars who study both Nabokov and
Proust?
I am a fledgling scholar of both, intrigued most by semiotic identity and
the philosophy of language and mind. I seek a university (most likely
harboring a comparative literature program) with elder scholars who can
nourish my growing appetite to study such subjects. (Yes, I have looked at
the members list of the Nabokov Society, but this leaves me still searching,
considering that many of these members are either at schools without
doctoral programs, are outside the U.S., are not university faculty, or
whose interests within the realm of Nabokov do not coincide adequately with
mine.)
I realize mine is a very specific request, and therefore the more difficult
to be fulfilled. However, I am hoping that some knowledgeable body on the
Listserv might point me in a promising direction.
Thanks so much!
