Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner are both great, so one of them.

Depends who's the first one. Does Poe count? He was born in Boston but raised in Virginia.

Not from the South and somehow more corncobby than all true Southerners put together.

harold covington. the first few chapters of the brigade was absolutely the most brilliant in all of literature ever. also he wrote a novel about how hillary clinton was funded by the kgb to oppose the vietnam war

at some point the south is just THE place where american literature was happening so specifying that an author was southern is pointless
