3. Huge gap
4. Beckett (his plays are kino though)

Joyce > Proust > Beckett (on the strength of his novels, not his plays) > Kafka. This is the most acceptable and fair ranking.

Joyce = Proust^2 / sqrt( Kafka - Beckett )
Proust = Joyce * Kafka - Beckett^Kafka
Beckett = Kafka ^ Joyce - sqrt (Proust^Kafka)
Kafka = sqrt(Joyce^Joyce - Beckett) * (Proust/Beckett)^Joyce

All great though.

Beckett writes extremely short works, it's far more likely someone has read Waiting for Godot or Molloy than In Search of Lost Time.

1. Beckett, because he achieved his genius through the complete dissolution of literary norms. The ending of The Unnamable is the peak of 20th century literature, better than Molly's monologue
2. Joyce, because he achieved his genius through the complete absorption and satire of literary norms, 90% of contemporary authors who win Booker prizes and Pullitzers and whatever are retroactively mogged by Ulysses, XIII
3. Kafka, because he created the sort of environment which, among other things, made a lot of later literature, including Beckett himself, as well as Borges and others, possible, although he (Kafka) didn't go much further than that
4. Proust, because he wrote a 19th century novel which went so deep into its objects that it made it fortunately pointless for (intelligent, superior) writers to keep producing that kind of stuff ad infinitum like they thought they'd be able to get away with (some still do, but they write for the midwit)
