This Nobel Prizeâwinning authorâs satirical Southern novel is âfull of the kind of swift and lusty writing that comes from a healthy, fresh penâ (Lillian Hellman, New York Herald Tribune). If ever there was a William Faulkner novel that could be called a portrait of the artist as a young man, Mosquitoes is that book. Set on a yacht excursion on Lake Pontchartrain, Faulknerâs second novel introduces his readers to the artistic community of New Orleans, a vibrant band of aspiring artists, charismatic dilettantes and social butterflies. A satiric look at the world Faulkner himself inhabited in his early years as a writer, Mosquitoes is a high-spirted, engaging novel from the Nobel laureateâwinning author known for his classic portrayals of the American South. âIt 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.â âLillian Hellman
