"My Life and Loves" is the highly charged and erotic autobiography of the Irish writer and editor Frank Harris (1856-1931). The book provoked hostile criticism due to the straightforward and frank details of Harris's sexual adventures, which began in his childhood. A biographer of Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare, Harris faced the U.S. government and the postal service over the content of his publications—battles that are recounted in "My Life and Loves," along with Harris's direct and colorful descriptions of his sexual adventures with consenting debutantes of the Victorian era. "My Life and Loves" remains a landmark in world erotic literature, as relevant and provocative today as when it was first privately printed in Paris.
