Published in 1916, this collection of previously published short pieces by Mencken is typical of his scathing wit and pessimistic outlook.  As a 1917 review in the Independent put it, "A Book of Burlesques is some of Mr. Mencken's most entertaining work, skillfully depicted fantasies of life 'as is.'"
