Nice. Faulkner was based as fuck too.
I highly recommend "Absalom, Absalom!" which he wrote in the mid 1930s and takes place in the South starting with the beginnings of the Civil War through (((reconstruction))). Damn good book and not as well regarded as some of his other work, for obvious reasons.
A good companion piece for Faulkner's novels about the South would be the correspondence between Robert E. Howard (Based Texan who created Conan) and HP Lovecraft (should need no introduction) especially the second volume ("A Means to Freedom: The Letters of H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard- Volume 2) where they regularly discuss the true story of the post Civil War South. I've mentioned this correspondence several times before and really both volumes should be in the library of every man here.
