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)[reply]

Film

A film has been discovered of the marriage festivities of the daughter of Élisabeth, Countess Greffulhe, Élaine, in 1904 with a 3-second appearance of Proust. See:

"Marcel Proust, Caught on Film" by Rubén Gallo, The New Yorker, 17 February 2017
fr:Fichier:Fim de famille Greffulhe (1904).webm and Marcel Proust Caught on Film, 1904 on YouTube

"Around the thirty-five-second mark, as dozens of elegant socialites pass through the frame in a leisurely procession, a young Marcel races past them down the steps, garnering the disapproving gaze of one older woman. The film lasts little more than a minute, and Proust comes and goes in less than three seconds." (Gallo) -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:14, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
