Why is a yank writing U.S. southern literature? Is it cause we're too dumb to write our own?

I'm from texas and I don't know a single writer from my own state other than Kinky Friedman and he sucks

Basically yes, see above.

His only work that establishes him in the canon is a Western. So I wouldn't fret too much because we have Faulkner.

He moved to Tennessee when he was 4 and only writes about places he's been.
