    H. L. Mencken / Henry Louis Mencken / HLMencken
    Nietzsche left no systematic exposition of his philosophy, and so it remains the subject of intense scholarly dispute and interpretation.

The mini-essay form (with pieces only a few sentences long) shows that Mencken’s wit sparkled best in the shortest prose. Modern readers should know, however, th...
