from one curmudgeon to another

Thomas Frank gave H.L. Mencken a big sloppy posthumous kiss in this Sunday's Wash Post. The book he was reviewing (Mencken: The American Iconoclast, by Marion Elizabeth Rodgers) does look promising. Adding that one to my post-school-term reading list...

By the way, Mr. Frank does have his own nice little website now.

In addition to his many other talents, Frank writes a great review. A few days ago I read his lengthy but always engaging review of Bernard Goldberg's "100 People Against Whom I Hold Petty Grudges" in the last Harper's. Does The Baffler still exist?

The Baffler still does exist... long delay since the last issue, but supposedly there will be one this year.
