Synopsis "Mosquitoes "

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.

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).
