My Life and Loves

A punch in the face of the puritanism & conservatism he raged against My Life & Loves is the highly-charged erotic autobiography of Frank Harris (1856-1931) an Irish writer & editor who founded Pearson''s Magazine in the USA (1914-18). When 1st published the book elicited hostile criticism because of its blunt & frank detail of his sexual exploits beginning in childhood. A biographer of Oscar Wilde & Shakespeare Harris fought the US government & postal service over the content of his publications--battles included herein along with his blunt colorful depictions of his sexual exploits with willing Victorian Age debutantes. My Life & Loves remains a landmark in erotic literature as relevant & provocative today as it was when 1st privately printed in Paris.
