About This Item
New York: HarperCollins, 2002. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8 vo,. cloth, dust jacket, xvii, 410 pages : illustrations, a very good copy, "When H.L. Mencken talked, everyone listened - like it or not. In the Roaring Twenties, he was the one critic who mattered, the champion of a generation of plain-speaking writers who redefined the American novel, and the ax-swinging scourge of the know-nothing, go-getting middle-class philistines whom he dubbed the "booboisie." Some loved him, others loathed him, but everybody read him." "From his carefree days as a teenage cub reporter in turn-of-the-century Baltimore to his noisy tenure as founding editor of the American Mercury, the most influential magazine of the twenties,".
