About This Item
New York: Boni and Liveright, 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. 1st edition of the Nobel Laureate's 2nd novel. Fine (the yellow lettering is not flaked). 1st printing dustjacket (the 2nd printing cardplayers jacket is much rarer), some rubbing and a 3/8" tear else near fine. Cheaper than any copy close to this fine, and finer than any copy close to this cheap. Mosquitoes is Faulkner before he deserved applause, but it set him up to become what he became. In it he confines a mismatched group on the yacht of a matronly, literary lion hunter and feeds none of their appetites, so we learn that characters wrapped up in themselves make very small packages.
