In six volumes of "Prejudices" published between 1919 and 1927, H.L. Mencken collected some of the best essays he ever wrote and established the style that made him a titan of the free press. Thirty years later, James T. Farrell, Mencken's friend and the author of the "Studs Lonigan" trilogy, read again through the "Prejudices" and found them still relevant and stimulating. From the six original volumes, he selected thirty-five essays - each a stick of dynamite with a burning fuse.
