My Life and Loves is the highlycharged, erotic autobiography of Frank Harris, an Irish writer and editor who founded Pearson's Magazine in the United States.The bookremains a landmark in erotic literature, as relevant and provocative today as it was when first privately printed in Paris. As published privately by Harris between 1922 and 1927, and by Jack Kahane's Obelisk Press in 1931, the work consisted of four volumes, illustrated with many drawings and photographs of women. Many contemporary and historic figures are discussed frequently in the book, such as Lord Salisbury, Byron Caldwell Smith, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Oscar Wilde, and many others. In this unexpurgated chronicle, we come to see Frank Harris in all his glory. This is the tale of one of the great editors of his day, a man of vision, vanity, and ambition who gave many writers, including H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, and Stephen Crane, their early opportunities and recognition.

Frank Harris (14 February 1855 – 26 August 1931) was an Irish editor, novelist, short story writer, journalist and publisher, who was friendly with many wellknown figures of his day. Born in Ireland, he emigrated to America early in life, working in a variety of unskilled jobs before attending the University of Kansas to read (study) law. After graduation, he returned to Europe in 1882. Though he attracted much attention during his life for his aggressive personality and editorship of famous periodicals, he is remembered mainly for his multiplevolume memoir My Life and Loves. Harris became an American citizen in April 1921. In 1922, he travelled to Berlin to publish his bestknown work, his autobiography My Life and Loves. He also wrote short stories and novels, two books on Shakespeare, a series of biographical sketches in five volumes under the title Contemporary Portraits, and biographies of his friends Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw.
