reviewed Mencken: The American Iconoclast - The Life and Times of the Bad Boys of Baltimore on April 14, 2010 Mencken: The American Iconoclast - The Life and Times of the Bad Boys of Baltimore
How ironic that the most extensive biography covering the controversial life of the author of "In Defense of Women" was written by a beautiful woman. Marion Elizabeth Rodgers has no doubt written the most intimate(using mainly primary sources) work on the life of Baltimore's greatest sage H.L. Mencken. I am sure Mencken would have been flattered to have read Rodger's wonderful book.
