A review by neemzilla
Mosquitoes by William Faulkner

3.0

In my opinion, the only reason to read this book is for the scenes featuring ‘the niece’, and the transformation (or lack thereof) of bumbling, lovelorn Talliaferro, though there are better versions of the boyish, spoiled female ingenue in ever Henry- Miller- esque novel of the time period. Cool to read Faulkner before he matured, but easy to see why this isn’t the sort of work that we know and revere him for.
