Renegade, if you are a Southern lit man, then by all means read Howard Bahr's two novels, The Black Flower and The Year of Jubilo, if you haven't already. Before he was a novelist, Howard was the curator of the Faulkner home in Mississippi. And don't be fooled by those serious book-jacket portraits - Howard is lively and has a fabulous sense of humor. :-) (I told him for the next portrait, he should wear a fez, and not look so stern.)
