Henry Louis "H. L." Mencken was an American journalist, essayist, magazine editor, satirist, acerbic critic of American life and culture, and a student of American English. Â Mencken, known as the "Sage of Baltimoreâ , is regarded as one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the first half of the 20th century.
â Mencken wrote nearly 250 letters, postcards, and telegrams to Hood. In this bright little volume, Peter Dowell includes slightly more than half of those missives. . . . [His] editing of the letters is in every way admirable, as is his introduction.â â American Spectator
