Rather than a second-rate Mencken, I see him as something like a bitter Elbert Hubbard.<br /><br />Any collection of E.W. Howe's aphorisms is worth reading. They are like the Book of Proverbs: about half make you smile nod your head, and about half seem too obvious to be stated, or simply wrong.<br /><br />E.W.Howe's son Edwin wrote a scathing profile of his father for the Saturday Evening Post of October 25, 1941, called "My Father was the Most Wretchedly Unhappy Man I Ever Knew". It more or less reveals that his Dad was what we now call bipolar. The son later committed suicide.Fazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396363799545495907noreply@blogger.com
