Don't sweat the "worthiness" issue; there is none. If you'd like to see a Faulkner interest tribe and you cannot find an already existing one, or one that you like, start one. You may find that in doing so, you will learn a great deal more about the man and his craft than you could in your own studies.
Moderators are at their best when they suggest a topic or two to get the ball rolling, use minimal guidance to keep conversation on track (but only where absolutely needed), and get out of the way. The less often you call attention to yourself as anything other than another member of the tribe, the more fun you'll have with it.

You don't need an encyclopedic knowledge of drunk Welsh poets to appreciate Dylan Thomas. ;o)

I'm not sure new tribes do anything more than dilute the occupied tribes, anymore. Better to add discussion threads where people respond, I think.

how about some juicy faulkner quotes?

here's one:

They entered the kitchen where a lamp burned. "You'll have to excuse
the way I look," the woman said. She went to the box behind the
stove and drew it out and stood above it, her hands hidden in the
front of her garment. Bendow stood in the middle of the room. "I
have to keep him in the box so the rats can't get to him," she said.
"What?" Benbow said. "What is it?" He approached, where he could
see into the box. It contained a sleeping child, not a year old. He
looked down at the pinched face quietly.
"Oh," he said. "You have a son."
