Good prose pieces from a southern writer maybe a fiction piece?

Question

I'm going for UIL prose here and we have to do a piece that is fiction and one by an author born in the south. States like Lousianna, North and South Carolina, Tennesee, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and I think Missouri. Anyone that can help me it would be a great deal of gratitude towards you and if you can give me the book it's from thanks

Answer 1

The South has produced extraordinary writers over the past century. To me, these are a few of the most accessible:



Any of Eudora Welty's short stories.

Willie Morris, My Dog Skip

Walker Percy, The Moviegoer

Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird

Truman Capote, Christmas Story

Rick Bragg, All Over But the Shouting (Non fiction)

Answer 2

Do Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" or one of Edgar Alan Poe's humorous pieces.
