Who is the superior French novelist: Flaubert or Proust?

Should any other French novelists be included at their level?

Depends on your criteria. I think you can legitimately argue both ways.

Probably not.

I think Stendhal and maybe Zola can be included?

Stendhal is way better than Flaubert, or at least The Red and the Black was way better than Madame Bovary. The "right word" my ass.

Proust is better as novelist, definitely. Flaubert's best is are Collected Letters, as every true patrician knows.
