Publisher's Note "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 Faulkners barbed wit in this engaging high-spirited novel which offers a fascinating glimpse of Faulkner as a young artist.
Industry Reviews "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." catalogue - Lillian Hellman
