Hal Crowther

An Infuriating American: The Incendiary Arts of H. L. Mencken

Buch

The controversial career of H.L. Mencken, the most powerful individual US journalist of the twentieth century, is a critical text for anyone concerned with the balance of power between the free press, the government, and the corporate plutocracy. Hal Crowther focuses on Mencken the creator, the observer who turned his impressions and prejudices into an inimitable group portrait of America, painted in prose that charms and glowers and endures.
