Mosquitoes

by William Faulkner

Mosquitoes Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Mosquitoes centers around a colorful assortment of passengers, out on a boating excursion from New Orleans. The rich and the aspiring, social butterflies and dissolute dilettantes are all easy game for Faulkner's barbed wit in this engaging high-spirited novel which offers a fascinating glimpse of Faulkner as a young artist."It approaches in the first half and reaches in the second half a brilliance that you can rightfully expect only in the writings of a few men. It is full of the fine kind of swift and lusty writing that comes from a healthy, fresh pen."--Lillian Hellman, New York Herald Tribune

Synopsis:

A delightful surprise, Faulkner wrote his second novel "for the sake of writing because it was fun."
