The Constant Circle: H. L. Mencken and his Friends
Mayfield, Sara |
|
The Constant Circle is a warm, intimate, personalized portrait of a complex and at times contradictory man, as seen through the eyes of a friend and confidante of long standing. It presents a man who excelled as a journalist, editor, critic and author and who was famous for his violent and vitriolic attacks on the hypocrisy, stupidity and bigotry of much of American life as he saw it—yet a man who in private life was a gentle, compassionate and loving husband. The book is based largely on unpublished letters, diaries, notes and private conversations. It is a unique and valuable contribution to Menckeniana.—dust jacket |
