Mencken: A Life (Maryland Paperback Bookshelf)

EUR 30,28

Mencken Mania - Despite some boring passages, Fred Hobson provides a generally interesting and thorough portrait of the original cynic, H.L.Mencken. The book addresses many issues of racism and anti semitism on Mencken s part fairly and openly. The novel is excellently written. I would have preferred more information on the Scope s Trial in relation to Mencken because my interest in Mencken was sparked when reading Inherit the Wind by Laurence and lee in which Mencken is satired as E.K.Hornbeck. Read this book- it is informative and excellent. My congratulations to Fred Hobson and Happy Reading
