Mosquitoes

By: William Faulkner

Narrated by: Nick Sullivan

Faulkner’s second novel follows a bohemian cast of artists, socialites, and dilettantes as they set sail on a four-day excursion aboard the Nausikaa. Faulkner’s quick wit and endless appetite for satire make this audiobook a fascinating exploration of character, as well as a rare glimpse into the author himself. The novel explores questions of sex and sexuality, as well as the societal role of the artist. Inspired by his own participation in the arts community in New Orleans, Mosquitoes is an engaging and delightful novel from one of America’s greatest writers.

Originally published in 1927.

Early example of Faulkner's writing. Made you realize how bad his writing could be.

Historical interest only. For completists. Some interesting themes but thebplot is insipid verging on stupid.
