Mosquitoes by William Faulkner audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Set in the languid heat of New Orleans in the early 1920s, William Faulkner's Mosquitoes follows a mixed group of artists, writers, socialites, and dreamers who escape the city on a weekend yachting trip across Lake Pontchartrain. The voyage promises leisure and inspiration, but the close quarters quickly turn the boat into a floating stage for vanity, flirtation, rivalry, and relentless talk. At the center is a young writer watching the others with equal parts fascination and impatience, while the charismatic painter Gordon and the self-important intellectual Dawson Fairchild spar over art, ego, and what it means to create something true. As the party drifts from witty banter to cutting satire, the trip exposes how desire and ambition can distort friendship, romance, and artistic purpose. By turns sharp, comic, and melancholy, Mosquitoes is a portrait of a scene where everyone hungers to be admired, yet few can bear honest attention, and where the smallest irritations - like the insects of the title - can drive people toward revealing choices.
