William Faulkner. First edition thus. Reprint. New York: Liverright, 1955. Both unclipped dust jacket and hardcover are in Very Good+ condition. No writing or markings found in the book, 349 pp.
A handsome reprint of Faulkner’s second novel, first published in 1927. Mosquitoes captures the restless artistic spirit of New Orleans in the 1920's through a witty, satirical narrative about a group of eccentric artists and writers adrift on a yacht in Lake Pontchartrain. This early work reveals the emerging voice of one of America’s greatest modernist writers.
The book and jacket are both in Very Good+ condition, showing only light edge wear and minor toning. The dust jacket remains unclipped with original price $6.95 on inside flap. Still bright—uncommon for this edition.
Originally published by Boni and Liveright (New York) in 1927. A collectible early printing of Faulkner’s second novel, perfect for readers and collectors alike.
