Nota de resumen, etc. | Mencken lived almost his entire life in the city he called ``the most livable of any on earth : Baltimore. Hobson does a balanced and convincing job of letting his subject speak for himself and yet also of pointing out the gaps in the self-portrait. Mencken's German background, he notes, only partially accounts for his admiration of Hitler and his outspoken dislike of all things British. Hobson readily admits Mencken's anti-Semitism yet discusses it alongside his frequent aid to fellow writers of every religion and race. . His turbulent friendship with Theodore Dreiser threads its way through the biography as does his long and mutually profitable relationship with his publisher Alfred A. Knopf. No matter how much one may admire Mencken's witty prose and his excoriation of society's foibles, it is hard to feel affection for this hypocondriacal curmudgeon as he turns against old friends and entangles women in his web of words: Marion Bloom, his greatest epistolary love, saved hundreds of his letters despite Mencken's prohibition, while he destroyed hers; his brief marriage to Sara Haardt was overshadowed by her fatal illnesses. Mencken chronicled his own life so fully in Prejudices and in his autobiographical trilogy that this enormous biography seems almost gratuitous, but it places Mencken firmly in his times and among his circle in a broader context than do his own caustic reflections. |
