description: A punch in the face of the puritanism &amp; conservatism he raged against, My Life &amp; Loves is the highly-charged, erotic autobiography of Frank Harris (1856-1931), an Irish writer &amp; editor who founded "Pearson's Magazine" in the USA (1914-18). When 1st published, the book elicited hostile criticism because of its blunt &amp; frank detail of his sexual exploits, beginning in childhood. A biographer of Oscar Wilde &amp; Shakespeare, Harris fought the US government &amp; 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 &amp; Loves remains a landmark in erotic literature, as relevant &amp; provocative today as it was when 1st privately printed in Paris.
