内容説明
<b>A major literary event: Mencken s dazzling autobiography, with 200 pages of his own never-before-published commentary and photos.</b> In 1936, at the age of fifty-five, H. L. Mencken published a reminiscence about his boyhood in <i>The New Yorker</i>, beginning a long and magnificent adventure in autobiography by America s greatest journalist. Mencken went on to gather his childhood recollections in <i>Happy Days</i> (1940), a richly detailed, poignant account of growing up in Baltimore. A critical and popular success, the book surprised many with its glimpses of a less curmudgeonly Mencken, and there soon followed the absorbing sequels <i>Newspaper Days</i> (1941), charting his rise at the Baltimore Herald from cub reporter to editor, and <i>Heathen Days</i> (1943), recounting his varied excursions as journalist and public figure, including his coverage of the Scopes trial in 1925. But unknown to the legions of <i>Days</i> books admirers, Mencken continued to add to them after publication, annotating and expanding each volume in typescripts sealed to the public for twenty-five years after his death. Until now, most of this material often more frank and unvarnished than the original <i>Days </i>books has never been published. Containing nearly 200 pages of previously unseen writing, and illustrated with photographs from Mencken s archives, many taken by Mencken himself, this expanded and definitive edition of the <i>Days </i>trilogy is a cause for celebration."
