Synopsis
When Mrs. Maurier, a widowed society patron of the arts in New Orleans, invites a ragtag assortment of French Quarter artists aboard a luxury yacht to entertain her impulsive teenage niece, mayhem ensues. Sharp dialogue propels the eccentric characters as they try to save the ship — which has run aground without help in sight — and themselves as provisions run out and passengers mysteriously disappear.
Both a coming-of-age and coming-to-terms-with-age story, this reimagining of Mosquitoes showcases Faulkner’s understanding of class differences from a feminist perspective.
