one of the greatest French authors
The nytimes book review says "In England not long ago a survey of writers and critics revealed that the twentieth-century novelist they most admired--and who they thought would have the most enduring influence on the next century--was Marcel Proust." Maybe someone who has Harold Bloom's Genius can enlighten us to what it says. I feel that someone added the "French" qualifier and rather vague "of his time" on a whim. Thus, the lede statement is not matching the nytimes reference. --Bod (talk) 19:00, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Self-published
So that's it: https://indiereader.com/2013/11/the-great-search/
This guy, M. Proust and his works, were self-published. Therefore, the author does not qualify for a Wikipedia page according to Wikipedia:notoriety rules.
The article should be removed.
Religion
A para on Proust's religion might be interesting - Hebraism or, as in the book, Catholic? FangoFuficius (talk) 10:27, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
:It is well known (see any biography, e.g. Painter, Tadie) that although of Jewish heritage he was formally a Catholic, but not devout. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:44, 28 July 2022 (UTC).
::Err, you do realise that response would justify the elimination of most of Wikipedia's contents ("don't look it up in wiki, read a biog")? FangoFuficius (talk) 08:16, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
:Herbalism isn’t a religion…? Dronebogus (talk) 17:32, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
