Joshi","description":"As he settled into writing his occasional articles for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Evening Mail, \u003c\/i\u003e H. L. Mencken chose a wide array of topics for his pontifications, from the \"woman question\" (\"How to Get a Husband,\" \"The Duel of Sex\") to cuisine (\"The Decay of Victualry\") to political and social reform (\"The Uplift and Other Imbecilities\"). But literary issues remained paramount, and Mencken discourses on poetry, novels, and related subjects. Later, Mencken wrote pungent articles for the \u003ci\u003eSydney Bulletin\u003c\/i\u003e on the disaster of Prohibition. When he began writing pieces for the \u003ci\u003eChicago Sunday Tribune, \u003c\/i\u003e the focus was almost exclusively on literature. It was here that he wrote his reviews of F. Scott Fitzgerald's \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e and Sinclair Lewis's \u003ci\u003eArrowsmith, \u003c\/i\u003e while also discussing such other writers as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Robert Louis Stevenson, James Branch Cabell, Sherwood Anderson, Theodore Dreiser, Ring Lardner, O. Henry. As always, Mencken reveals the perspicacy and wit that made him one of the greatest journalists and critics of his era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e S. T.
