Mosquitoes

“Full of the kind of swift and lusty writing that comes from a healthy, fresh pen.”―Lillian Hellman, New York Herald Tribune A fascinating glimpse of the author as a young artist, Faulkner’s sophomore novel, Mosquitoes (1927), introduces us to a colorful band of passengers on a boating excursion from New Orleans. This engaging, high-spirited tale―which Faulkner wrote “for the sake of writing because it was fun”―provides a delightful accompaniment to his canonical works.
