The legendary H. L. Mencken exists solely in the minds of his hostile critics and his least intelligent admirers, who have derived their impression of him from his opponents rather than from himself.-from H. L.

Boyd leaves no doubt as to why Mencken is considered one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century.American author ERNEST BOYD (1887-1946) was born in Dublin but began his literary career in New York City in 1920.
