Carter Willingham’s End as a Man.

Bogus. Where’s “Tales of Uncle Remus?”

[slumber1]

Probably considered too low brow for most literary snobs but I like these

The Last Picture Show - Larry McMurtry

Saratoga Trunk, Show Boat, Giant - Edna Ferber

[Joe 6-pack]

What about “Chiefs” by Stuart Woods? One of the networks turned it into a miniseries back in the 80’s, but even with Charlton Heston in it, the novel was better.

The Prince of Tides

[Sudetenland]

For my money Eudora Welty eclipses them all for talent.

[Sudetenland]

Sound and Fury is abysmal. As far as I can tell its popularity among critics is based on the stream of conciousness style rather that the actual story...technique is not art.

Will other FReepers identify which books would be considered “Southern Apologetics” so i may avoid them.
Mockingbird being one of them. I also have a list of
Southern Gothic i will need to strart soon.

Great Post- I thought I read a lot, many of these I haven’t even heard of.

It is only 19 pages but how about H. L. Mencken's "Sahara of the Bozart?"

It was credited with single-handedly reviving the arts in the South after the civil war.

"You can't go home again" by Thomas Wolfe.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)

[Migraine]

Robert Ruark -- The Old Man and the Boy

James Dickey -- Deliverance made the list. That's good.

[T Minus Four]

One of the most important Southern works of all time inexplicably failed to make the list!
