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."--Publisher's website.
