Prejudices, Second Series
H. L. Mencken
Read by Jim Locke
Mencken is famous for his sometimes-savage attacks on almost everything humans can in their stupidity and priggishness and prejudice conjure up. Here one sees in the Second Series that his focus is on the lack of real artistry and broad humanity in American art and society and on the failures of such fanatical crusades as Prohibition and finally on a more humorous note on the absurd habits of mating between the sexes.
