Summary
Henry Louis "H. L." Mencken (1880 - 1956) was an American journalist, essayist, magazine editor, satirist, acerbic critic of American life and culture, and a student of American English. Known as the "Sage of Baltimore", he is regarded as one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the first half of the 20th century. Mencken is perhaps best remembered today for The American Language, a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States, and for his satirical reporting on the Scopes trial, which he named the "Monkey" trial."

Mendel G.

An author of whom I had heard as a student in the early 60's but had never read. He was considered to be sharply sarcastic of society and irreverently critical of the general American society and its norms in the first third of the 20th Century. Though his observations are dated and not immediately relevant,his ability to see through the hypocrisy of his times comes through in his writing. The narrator begins "wooden", but he seems to glide into the role and becomes more at ease with his role.
