Fw: Teeth and Dentistry as a Literary Motif

EDNOTE. Prof. Goldschweer has put me to shame. My claim to be the progenitor of a new critical genre was mistaken--as documented below. Worse yet, Ziolkowski's volume with its seminal essay "The Telltale Teeth: Psychodontia to Sociodontia" is on my shelf and I must have read it. He adds many names to the (transcen-)dental canon. Among them a couple of novels I have recently read---but obviously with insufficient attention to the dental theme: Frank Norris's 1899 _McTeague_ and Georges Bernanos' _Diairy of Country Priest -(circa 1930?). Alert reader Basil Lawrence calls attention William Goldman's _Marathon Man_.

Dear List,
There is an article on that subject in Theodore Ziolkowski's Varieties of Literary Thematics (Princeton 1983), including Guenther Grass (I think), but not Nabokov (if my memory doesn't deceive me).
Kind regards
