Fearless Frank (or Tit-bits from the Life of an Adventurer)

A dramatic romp in the company of Frank Harris , 1855-1931, the most infamous man of letters of his day, and author of the scandalous My Life and Loves, banned in this country until 1964. ' The most impossible ruffian on the face of the earth.' (Bernard Shaw) ' Frank Harris has been received in all the great houses of London ... once.' (Oscar Wilde) ' The best talker in London.' (Max Beerbohm) He is indeed a monster according to all conventional standards, but his monstrosity only offends the shallow people who simply aren't worth propitiating.' (biographer Hesketh Pearson ) ' Sex is the gateway to life.' (Frank Harris to novelist Enid Bagnold ) .. so I went through the gateway in an upper room at the Cafe Royal.' (Enid Bagnold)
