Description

"Written with verve, intellectual sophistication, and a prickly wit worthy of its eminent subject... A first-class piece of literate entertainment" (
The New Yorker).






Before he went on to become a celebrated biographer and historian, renowned for such works as
A World Lit Only by Fire,
American Caesar, and
The Last Lion, William Manchester worked as a reporter for the
Baltimore Sun in the 1940s -- and it was there that he met fellow journalist H. L. Mencken.







This book tells the story of conservative, anarchist H. L. Mencken's life in compelling, intimate detail -- and offers a uniquely personal look at the influential cultural critic and satirist who cofounded the magazines the
American Mercury and the
Smart Set and became a legend for his sharp and highly quotable wit.
