Wirkman says in his discussion ("The beam in Mencken’s eye") of this essay and of praise and criticism in his own reviews of books that Joe Queenan's "characterization of Mencken seems off." But the rest of the "rant" strikes him "as much less cock-eyed" though he finds evidence that Queenan is "just a tad self-absorbed."
