  • "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 Faulkner's barbed wit in this engaging high-spirited novel which offers a fascinating glimpse of Faulkner as a young artist."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."--Lillian Hellman, New York Herald Tribune."

  • "In this satiric novel set on Lake Ponchartrain on the yacht Nausikaa, Faulkner draws a portrait of the New Orleans artistic community of 1925 while woking out his own theories about art and the artist."

  • "Mosquitoes centers around a colorful assortment of passengers, out on a boating excursion from New Orleans. The title refers to the type of peoplewith the characteristics of the pest--buzzing nonentities, boring idiots,stinging paracites. But in telling about them Faulkner has made them as charming as hummingbirds to us, even if they are mosquitoes to one another."@en

  • "Over the course of a four-day yacht trip, an assortment of guests goes through the motions of socializing with their wealthy host while pursuing their own disparate goals. As the guests are separated into artists and non-artists, youth and widows, males and females, Mosquitoes explores gender and societal roles, sexual tension, and unrequited love as Faulkner delves into what it means to be an artist. Faulkner's second novel, Mosquitoes was first published in 1927, but did not receive any critical response until his literary reputation was well-established.
