Days of H.L. Mencken

"Mr. Mecken, who has certainly known bereavements and presumably frustrations, writes like a man in whom happiness is constitutional. He seems never to have been happy foolishly, which means without cause and on principles, like sentimental optimists. But neither has he wept, like tragic philosophers, over the evils of the world, which he has seen chiefly as imbecilities and which he has spent the most conspicuous part of his life in detecting and pointing out. They have not surfeited or subdued but only stimulated him. His boundless energy is a tireless comic force.Mencken, H. L. is the author of 'Days of H.L. Mencken' with ISBN 9780880294171 and ISBN 0880294175.
