Mosquitoes by William Faulkner

Mosquitoes (Picador Books)

by William Faulkner

A delightful surprise, Faulkner's second novel introduces us to a colorful band of passengers on a boating excursion from New Orleans. This engaging, high-spirited novel-which Faulkner wrote "for the sake of writing because it was fun"-offers a fascinating glimpse of Faulkner as a young artist.

This felt very odd. Faulkner doing Jazz Age stuff? The tone seemed off and the first chapters were a bore. I’m sending this back to the library for now.
