    No one mentioned Flannery O'Connor? If you like short fiction, she's probably the master of the south.

    ^Seconded! I suppose, if it came down to it, I'd say Faulkner is superior, but only slightly. Wise Blood is easily one of the best books I've ever read.

    Faulkner would be the novel master, but not the short story.

    Ahh. In that case I agree. It was the "short fiction"/"short story" distinction that was catching me there.
