Thanks to Jack Neely for pointing out this one.

About George Washington Harris, (1814-1869)
"Writers such as Mark Twain, William Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor have praised Harris's characterization and language. Critics' responses have been from "Rabelaisian" to "repellent." Clearly, Harris's range extends from vituperative satire to the ambiguities of grotesque realism and, finally, to the celebratory mode of folk humor. "

" Sut (GW Washington's most famous character) is a complex forerunner of later creations by Twain and William Faulkner."
