Mosquitoes (novel)
1927 novel by William Faulkner
Mosquitoes is a satiric novel by the American author William Faulkner. The book was first published in 1927 by the New York-based publishing house Boni & Liveright and is the author's second novel. Sources conflict regarding whether Faulkner wrote Mosquitoes during his time living in Paris beginning in 1925 or in Pascagoula, Mississippi, in the summer of 1926. Its setting and content clearly reference Faulkner's personal involvement in the New Orleans creative community where he spent time before moving to France.
