With a style that combined biting sarcasm with the "language of
the free lunch counter," Henry Louis Mencken shook politics and
politicians for nearly half a century. Now, fifty years after
Mencken's death, the Johns Hopkins University Press announces The
Buncombe Collection, newly packaged editions of nine Mencken
classics: "Happy Days," "Heathen Days," "Newspaper Day"s,
"Prejudices," "Treatise on the Gods," "On Politics," "Thirty-Five
Years of Newspaper Work," "Minority Report," and "A Second Mencken
Chrestomathy."
Written in 1941-42, these highlights capture the excitement of
newspaper life in the heyday of print journalism.
