L. Mencken published a reminiscence of his Baltimore boyhood in The New Yorker. With this modest beginning, Mencken embarked on what would become the Days trilogy, a long and magnificent adventure in autobiography by America's greatest journalist. Finding it "always agreeable to ponder upon the adventures of childhood" ( as he wrote in his diary), Mencken created more of these masterful novelistic evocations of a bygone era, eventually collected in Happy Days (1940 ). The book was an immediate critical and popular success, surprising many of its readers with its glimpses of a less curmudgeonly Mencken. Urged by New Yorker editor Harold Ross to send yet more pieces, Mencken moved on from his childhood to revisit the beginnings of his legendary career. Newspaper Days (1941) charts the rise of the brilliant, ambitious young newspaperman, in an astonishingly short time, from cub reporter to managing editor of the Baltimore Herald. Among the book's memorable episodes are the display of Mencken's "talent for faking" in his invented dispatches of the Battle of Tsushima in the Russo~Japanese War~accounts that largely turned out to be accurate~and his riveting narrative of the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. "In my day a reporter who took an assignment was wholly on his own until he got back to the office, . today he tends to become only a homunculus at the end of a telephone wire." The final volume of the published trilogy, Heathen Days (1943), recounts his varied excursions as one of America's most famous men, and one who, by his own account, "enjoyed himself immensely," including his bibulous adventures during Prohibition and his reporting of the 1925 Scopes trial over the teaching of evolution. Until now, however, the story told in Mencken's beloved Days books has been incomplete. In the 1940s, Mencken began malting extensive notes about the published books, commenting on what he had written and adding new material~but stipulating that these writings were not to be made public until twenty~five years after his death. Days Revisited presents more than two hundred pages of this material for the first time. Commentaries are keyed to the main text they gloss with subtle marks in the margin, and they are supplemented by rare photographs, many taken by Mencken himself Here is Mencken's classic autobiography as it has never been seen before. Marion Elizabeth Rodgers, editor, is the author of Mencken: The American Iconoclast and editor of Mencken and Sara: A Life in Letters and The Impossible H. L. Mencken, among other works. She edited the Library of America edition of Mencken's Prejudices.

Sinopsis

A major literary event: Mencken’s dazzling autobiography, with 200 pages of his own never-before-published commentary and photos. In 1936, at the age of fifty-five, H. L. Mencken published a reminiscence about his boyhood in The New Yorker, beginning a long and magnificent adventure in autobiography by America’s greatest journalist. Mencken went on to gather his childhood recollections in Happy Days (1940), a richly detailed, poignant account of growing up in Baltimore. A critical and popular success, the book surprised many with its glimpses of a less curmudgeonly Mencken, and there soon followed the absorbing sequels Newspaper Days (1941), charting his rise at the Baltimore Herald from cub reporter to editor, and Heathen Days (1943), recounting his varied excursions as journalist and public figure, including his coverage of the Scopes trial in 1925. But unknown to the legions of Days books’ admirers, Mencken continued to add to them after publication, annotating and expanding each volume in typescripts sealed to the public for twenty-five years after his death. Until now, most of this material—often more frank and unvarnished than the original Days books—has never been published. Containing nearly 200 pages of previously unseen writing, and illustrated with photographs from Mencken’s archives, many taken by Mencken himself, this expanded and definitive edition of the Days trilogy is a cause for celebration.
