12021-01-22T17:19:36+00:00Little Rock, Arkansas1plain2021-01-22T17:19:36+00:00Anita Loos later frequently claimed that Little Rock, Arkansas was chosen as the home of Lorelei because it was singled out as uncultured in her professed idol H.L. Mencken's essay against the South, "The Sahara of the Bozart," published in 1917 and then collected in his second volume of Prejudices in 1920. However, neither Little Rock specifically nor Arkansas in general is referred to by name in the essay. Arkansas is mentioned in two other essays in Prejudices, however, both in reference to a lack of culture.
