Few Americans stirred up more controversy than H.L. Mencken, and perhaps no American ever wrote more stylish prose. In this sequel to the landmark Mencken Chrestomathy of nearly 50 years ago, the genius of Mencken's commentary and the stunning breadth of his interests -- from music to politics to fine art to the brewer's art -- are displayed in all their eloquent grandeur. The essays, reviews, and examples of brilliant reporting were all selected by Mencken himself, and today's thinking readers are fortunate to finally see publication of this fine book some forty years after Mencken's death.
