My Life as Author and Editor

Sealed in a vault for 35 years--upon the direction of Mencken himself--this account of the writer's early career is so telling and uproariously opinionated that it might have provoked a storm of libel suits, had it been published immediately after his death. "Well worth the wait . . . irreverent, inimitable, often outrageous . . . and, above all, compelling".--Chicago Sum-Times.
