There is quite a bit of references to the more positive qualities that come up in little patches in those stories and sometimes more than that. Those stories you cite aren't representative of all of Faulkner's concerns or character explorations. And I should note that I consider Texas to be only a colony of the South and not a proper part of it

I don't think I have enough self-loathing to appreciate Faulkner.

I might wonder if you have enough cultural awareness to understand, much less appreciate, Faulkner

I just don't see hope and aspiration in the Faulkner I've read.

Nice. Southern fiction is my favorite genre, hands down. I'll keep an eye out for your posts. *NM*
