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 
Well, I suppose that stands to reason. Think of it as a colony of TN, but a proper part of the South. At least until you get to Dallas or Austin, but why would anyone want to go to either of those places?

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*
