Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 3/14/22 This collection is meant to be some of Mencken's best work, and is a collection of opinion pieces relevant to the times and published for editorial entertainment. His is a writing style that endures, even if some of the subject matter does not. He has a delicate way of using strong words and writes like a journalist with a novelist's eye to the world. I enjoyed his slice-of-life word paintings more than his political and social rants. He has a fairly dim view of his peers and a lot of criticism of other writers, and I'm sure he intended to write with vehemence but the polite language he uses makes it seem like being flogged with pretty ribbons. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The anthology that spans an entire lifetime of writing by America's greatest curmudgeon, with a "flick of mischief on nearly every page." Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
