Synopsis "Mosquitoes"

Mosquitoes, a 1927 novel from celebrated author and Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner, takes place in New Orleans and follows a group of socialites on a yacht trip on Lake Pontchartrain. The characters, including the wealthy art patron Mrs. Maurier and the young artist Peter, engage in conversations and discussions about art, literature, and their own personal lives while being plagued by mosquitoes. The backdrop of their mundane daily activities serves to focus the story on the personalities and relationships of the characters, including the overbearing sexual tension between the sexes. The novel delves into the themes of art, class, and the nature of being human.

William Faulkner (1897-1962) was an American writer noted for his contribution to modernist literature and the Southern Gothic genre. He is known for his innovative use of stream of consciousness, fragmented narratives, and exploration of the Southern United States. Among his most important works are The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Absalom, Absalom! (1936), and Light in August (1932).

His literature, laden with symbolism and structural complexity, portrays the decay of the American South and its racial and social conflicts. In 1949, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, establishing himself as one of the most influential figures in 20th-century narrative. He also won two Pulitzer Prizes for A Fable (1954) and The Reivers (1962).
