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!
