Mosquitoes | William Faulkner

Pickpick

A ship of fools goes aground in a lake near New Orleans, and the yacht‘s widowed mistress is not too happy. This book, Faulkner‘s 2nd (1927), has so many issues, including a sputtering narrative and Lolita-ish eroticism. And yet, so, I enjoyed it. It‘s funny. The characters stick and hang around. They can humorously romantic, and then suddenly full of deep drunken thoughts on the arts. One character reads poetry aloud. So…well…flawed but…

swynn It's a hot mess, isn't it? And something you don't expect from a book with "Faulkner" on the cover. And yet .... 1mo
Graywacke @swynn yes! I read your review before posting, from 2 yrs ago. I loved it! I haven‘t read any of Faulkner‘s great works yet, but I think Faulkner had a sense of humor that‘s not always so blatant as here. 1mo
