H.L. Mencken was America's most prominent iconoclastic journalist of the first half of the 20th century, and he still has a considerable following. Mencken's writings have been in print continuously for over 100 years, including a collection published in the 1950s that's still in print almost 70 years after it was first published. This is the first new collection of Mencken's writings to appear in decades, and it consists primarily of complete pieces rather than excerpts from his newspaper and magazine articles. The focus is on writings that are relevant to the present day, that are biting, insightful, and that showcase Mencken's trademark dark humor. Topics include American politics, evangelical Christianity, the South, the Scopes trial, sex, morals, Prohibition, civil liberties, war, quack cures, American literature, and American journalism.
