This complete Grove Press edition, uniting all five volumes in one definitive collection, chronicles Harris's relentless pursuit of power, passion, and intellectual greatness, presenting a raw and unfiltered account of a life lived entirely on its own terms, from cattle drives in Texas to the editorship of the Saturday Review, where he published the likes of Shaw, Wells, and Beerbohm.\n\nHarris writes with a swaggering, unapologetic bravado that is equal parts infuriating and irresistible, and his memoir stands as a landmark of confessional literature — a work that anticipates the sexual frankness of Henry Miller and the name-dropping audacity of a literary age that has since vanished. Banned for decades and circulated underground before Grove Press brought it into the open, My Life and Loves is as much a document of its era as it is a monument to one man's extraordinary — and extraordinarily inflated — ego. Whether Harris is entirely truthful is beside the point; the question the book leaves burning is whether any life, so defiantly lived and so brazenly told, can ever truly be contained within the pages of a single volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216199000283,"sku":"2026200014433-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6eb2cd31-5986-4c84-a31c-ed84a590eac5.png?v=1788405160","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014433-secondhand-my-life-loves-the-complete-grove-press-edition-five-volumes-in-one","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
