A lesser-known but compelling novel from the author of Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury.
Have you ever wondered what speaks to the tortured soul of an artist? What would it be like to be stuck on a yacht with only the musings of the world and a group of artists as your company?
In the heat of the late Louisiana summer, Faulkner brings us a story of artistry that examines the thoughts and actions of Southern bohemians who have nothing to interrupt them but the hum and fire of the mosquitoes that surround them. "Faulkner's message is clear: We are the mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes are us."-Rein Fartel, "Twentieth Century Millennial: Revisiting Faulkner's Mosquitoes."
With a foreword by Carl Rollyson, a renowned biographer of Faulkner and other eminent authors, this fine new edition works to highlight the "Louisiana Faulkner," the Faulkner before fame, and his thoughts on the lives of Southern artists.
