Description: Mosquitoes Mosquitoes William Faulkner William Faulkner's novel Mosquitoes (1927) is a satirical and introspective examination of a group of intellectuals and artists who gather in New Orleans for a summer of socializing and self-reflection. The story is framed around a fictionalized version of Faulkner’s own experiences and observations, offering a critique of the artistic and cultural elite. The novel follows the characters' interactions as they navigate their personal ambitions, romantic entanglements, and existential musings. Central to the narrative is the character of a young, disillusioned artist named Harold Stockard, who is attempting to reconcile his creative aspirations with the superficiality and moral ambiguity he encounters. Alongside Stockard, the novel features a diverse cast of characters, including a wealthy socialite, a failed writer, and a failed artist, all of whom contribute to the novel's exploration of themes such as artistic pretension, societal decay, and the search for meaning. Faulkner’s use of multiple viewpoints and his distinctive, experimental prose style reflect the inner conflicts and discontent of his characters. Mosquitoes is notable for its early experimentation with stream-of-consciousness and narrative fragmentation, techniques that Faulkner would later refine in his more famous works. The novel ultimately serves as a critique of the artistic community’s self-absorption and the broader disillusionment of the post-World War I era.
