A punch in the face of the puritanism and conservatism he raged against, "My Life and Loves" is the highly-charged, erotic autobiography of Frank Harris (1856-1931), an Irish writer and editor who founded "Pearson's Magazine" in the United States (1914-1918). When first published, the book elicited hostile criticism because of its blunt and frank detail of Harris' sexual exploits, beginning in his childhood. A biographer of Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare, Harris fought the U.S. government and postal service over the content of his publications - battles included in "My Life and Loves" along with Harris' blunt, colourful depictions of his sexual exploits with willing Victorian Age debutantes. "My Life and Loves" remains a landmark in erotic literature, as relevant and provocative today as it was when first privately printed in Paris.
Frank Harris (1856 - 1931) was an Irish editor, novelist, short story writer, journalist, and publisher; he is perhaps best known for his autobiography, My Life and Loves.
