Mosquitoes, a 1927 novel from celebrated author and Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner, takes place in New Orleans and follows a group of socialites on a yacht trip on Lake Pontchartrain. The characters, including the wealthy art patron Mrs. Maurier and the young artist Peter, engage in conversations and discussions about art, literature, and their own personal lives while being plagued by mosquitoes. The backdrop of their mundane daily activities serves to focus the story on the personalities and relationships of the characters, including the overbearing sexual tension between the sexes. The novel delves into the themes of art, class, and the nature of being human.
