Henry Louis Mencken (1880 1956). The Introduction to The Impossible HL MenckenA Collection of His Best Newspaper Stories, edited by Marion Elizabeth Rodgers
http://www.io.com/~gibbonsb/mencken.html

Extractions: by Gibbons Burke T he most prominent newspaperman, book reviewer, and political commentator of his day, Henry Louis Mencken was a libertarian before the word came into usage. His prose is as clear as an azure sky, and his rhetoric as deadly as a rifle shot. Frequent targets of his lance were Franklin Roosevelt and New Deal politics, Comstocks victuals offered up by Chesapeake Bay. M encken's writing is endearing because of its wit, its crisp style, and the obvious delight he takes in it. The Introduction to The Impossible H.L. Mencken: A Collection of His Best Newspaper Stories , edited by Marion Elizabeth Rodgers which relates Mencken's manner while reporting on the presidential conventions: No other entertainment gave him greater pleasure than reporting from the conventions; nor did anyone appreciate his efforts more than Mencken himself. One reporter, peering through Mencken's window late at night after one rally, recalled watching him at work alone in his hotel room, pounding out copy on a typewriter propped on a desk. He would type a few sentences, read them, slap his thigh, toss his head back, and roar with laughter. Then he would type some more lines, guffaw, and so on until the end of the article. A cigar jammed in the side of Mencken's mouth completes the image. Rare is the picture of him without one in a hand, his mouth, or a nearby ashtray. (His father was the owner of Baltimore's Mencken Cigar Company, which provided Mencken his first gainful employment, which he ditched not long after his father's death to become a cub reporter.) Here's Mencken's assessment of life in the United States:

Comments from the Mencken Webmaster "So many young men got their likes and dislikes from Mencken" Ernest Hemingway, The Sun also Rises A Mencken Biography Henry Louis Mencken, born September 12, 1880 in the only city to be his home, Baltimore, Maryland, remains one of this century's most imposing intellectual figures. His early years were consumed with books, altough he abandoned such heavy study in favor of "life itself" in his teens. In 1899, at the age of nineteen, he began work at the Baltimore Herald first as a city reporter, a task which he reflected fondly upon for its opportunities to see Baltimore at ground level. Eventually, the Herald made him a daily columnist in order to allow him a chance to vent. His rapier like wit, and unrelenting observant journalist's eye made him a rising star, and at the age of 23 he became an Editor-at-Large (or City Editor, depending on which version of the facts you wish to believe, but perhaps its a distinction lacking a difference.) His first book appeared in 1905, a critique of the plays of George Bernard Shaw. It remains utterly important to remember that Mencken, despite his most common modern use as a social critic pursued a vastness of interests, including literature and music. To call him a renaissance man may be a cliche overstatement, but it is appropriate to highlight his diverse interests. To be fair, Nietzshce and Shaw share a simillar vein and consistency of scholarship, to which Mencken may perhaps be considered as an American (and perhaps to his chagrin

Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback H(enry) L(ouis) Mencken (1880-1956) American literary critic, humorous journalist, essayist, whose comic skepticism about human progress, expressed with penetrating style, is a treasure for all interested in extravagant language. Mencken wrote - according to some estimations - 3 000 newspaper columns. During the 15-year period following World War I, Mencken set the standard for satire in his day, and his essays are still widely read. "Here is something that the psychologists have so far neglected: the love of ugliness for its own sake, the lust to make the world intolerable. Its habitat is the United States. Out of the melting pot emerges a race which hates beauty as it hates truth." (from 'The Libido for the Ugly', 1927) Henry Louis Mencken was born in Baltimore, Maryland. His grandfather had prospered in the tobacco business and his father, August, continued the family tradition. Mencken studied at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (1892-96) and then worked at his father's cigar factory. After his father died in 1899, Mencken was free to choose his own trade in the world. "I chose newspaper work without any hesitation whatever, and. save when the scent of a passing garbage-cart has revived my chemical libido, I have never regretted my choice," he later said. He was a reporter or editor for several Baltimore papers, among them Baltimore Morning Herald . He later joined the staff of the

Extractions: Henry Louis Mencken was born on September 12, 1880. He was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. His father owned a Cigar factory. H.L seemed destined to follow in his fathers footsteps. After studying at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute he worked for his father in the cigar Factory until 1899. This would not be Mencken's lasting contribution to society. In 1899 he began writng for several local, Boston area, newspapers. Two of the more prestigious papers that he worked for were the Baltimore Herald Tribune and Baltimore Sun . He worked as a newspaper writer for most of the 1910's. His career as a newspaper man quickly launched him into the literary world as both a freelance writer and an editor of his own journal, The American Mercury. The scope of Mencken's writings was extremely broad. He satirized the American south after the Scopes Monkey trial, criticized American democracy, joked about Prohibition, challenged the place of women in society, and advocated free speech. He was known throughout his life as an general critic and commentator on American society. Mencken's appeal was in his the shock value of his opinions. Though he was a serious writer, he spoke with a true voice of sarcasm. This made him very difficult to interpret. Mencken wrote very much for himself, rather than for the public. His political ideas often contradicted one another. Above all, Mencken was a sort of entertainer of his generation. Especially during the explosive decade that was the roaring twenties, his outlandish ideas and extreme political views posited an intellectual challenge to the stringent "Victorian" way of life that governed the lives of so many Americans.

Extractions: Mencken, H. L. u Pronunciation Key Mencken, H. L. (Henry Louis Mencken), , American editor, author, and critic, b. Baltimore, studied at the Baltimore Polytechnic. Probably America's most influential journalist, he began his career on the Baltimore Morning Herald at the age of 18, became editor of the Baltimore Evening Herald, and from 1906 until his death was on the staff of the Baltimore Sun or Evening Sun. He also played a key role in the production of two extremely influential national magazines. From 1914 to 1923 he was coeditor of the Smart Set with George Jean Nathan ; together they founded the American Mercury in 1924, and Mencken was its sole editor from 1925 to 1933. Mencken's pungent, iconoclastic criticism and scathing invective, although aimed at all smugly complacent attitudes, was chiefly directed at what he saw as the ignorant, self-righteous, and overly credulous American middle class, members of which he dubbed Boobus americanus.

Extractions: When H. L. Mencken was eight years old, he wandered into his local newspaper, entranced by the workings of the hand press. The following Christmas he asked for his own small press and he was soon publishing his own newspaper. A decade later Mencken got his first job at the Baltimore Herald ; soon, and for the next fifty years, he was the most famous journalist in America. On this day in 1931, the Arkansas legislature passed a motion to pray for the soul of H. L. Mencken. One of Mencken's Laws was "Nature abhors a moron," and one of his favorite pastimes was to attack the South; upon finding itself elevated to "the apex of moronia," Arkansas had apparently had enough. One spin-off from the Arkansas-baiting was Anita Loos's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes The Prostitute, the Police, and H. L. Mencken
