The Skeptic
By:Terry Teachout
Published on 2003-11-04 by Harper Collins
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. Now Terry Teachout takes on the man Edmund Wilson called |our greatest practicing literary journalist,| brilliantly capturing all of Mencken's energy and erudition, passion and paradoxes, in a masterful biography of this iconoclastic figure and the world he shaped.
