Iconoclast H. L. Mencken was unquestionably the most provocative and influential journalist and cultural critic in twentieth-century America. His volumes of Prejudices, published between 1919 and 1927, were both a scathing yet humorous attack on what Mencken saw as American provincialism and hypocrisy and a resounding defense of the writers and thinkers he thought of as harbingers of a new frankness and maturity. Laced with savage humor and delighting in verbal play, Mencken's prose remains a one-of-a-kind roller-coaster ride through a staggering range of themes: literature and journalism, politics and religion, sex and marriage, food and drink.
