@Fidelio: By southern writer, it's mostly the style of what is written, rather than where the author is from. For example, Cormac McCarthy was born in Providence, Rhode Island, but a person can't doubt that his writing style is heavily southern. It's the same for Twain.
@spqr: If enough people want more authors, I can add more, but I thought twenty-six was enough for a good quiz. I tried to pick the most notable names. I'll keep Toole in mind. |
