Mark Twain, according to William Faulkner (1922)

"A hack writer who would not have been considered fourth rate in Europe, who tricked out a few of the old proven sure fire literary skeletons with sufficient local color to intrigue the superficial and the lazy. "

Faulkner was only mad because he wanted to be the Southern granddaddy of literature, and he had to challenge Twain to do it. Just like Ezra Pound calling Whitman lame when he not-so-secretly owes a lot to him.
