Pulp Faulkner (4)

[William Faulkner, Mosquitoes (1927). New York: Avon, n.d. Click either image for a larger view.]

The strangest of my four pulp Faulkners. So strange that it lacks both a publication date (sellers at Advanced Book Exchange say 1941) and a cover price, though the inside back cover establishes that volumes in the New Avon Books series sold for 25¢. I no longer have any idea how I acquired this book.

Have I read Mosquitoes ? No, my interest in Faulkner is restricted to Yoknapatawpha County. I once supervised an independent study in Faulkner that was Yoknapatawpha-centric — which was more than enough for fifteen weeks. No Mosquitoes. No Pylon. The omission of Pylon horrified a fellow academic. Seriously? What should I have left out to make it fit? [Shakes head .]
