"No other study has been nearly as successful as this one in presenting the late H. L. Mencken in context."-Gerald J. Johnson, Chicago Sun-Times Book Week"The most recent and best to date of the many biographies of Henry Louis Mencken is Carl Bode's carefully re-searched book and much documented study of one of the most influential writers on the American scene from 1900 to 1950... A fine, even defini-tive biography."-Best Sellers
"Magnificent biography.... A Menck-enian accomplishment."-Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times Calendar
