Hal Crowther talks to us about H. L. Mencken. The most influential journalist of his time

The Biography of H. L. Mencken. While known as maybe the best American English writer ever, he was also possibly the best at being the biggest jerk. He was able to make folks laugh and be appalled at the same time. A talent that comes from a place that doesn't allow for nice guys.
