Based. One of the best best books of the South ever written, and almost entirely ignored today. Very good book.

OP, I'd also take a look at WJ Cash's "Mind of the South," though it is not a novel.

Tate's poetry is also great. If you haven't checked it out, at least read Ode to the Confederate Dead.
