The Short Stories of Frank Harris

Résumé du livre

Now largely out of print and inacces­sible, and overshadowed since his death in 1931 by the Frank Harris legend and by his reputation as the author of the notorious My Life and Loves, the stories nevertheless bear witness to the com­bination of diverse qualities that has dis­tinguished Harris's work at its best. This extraordinary collection is designed to serve today's readers as an introduction to the work of the controversial, gifted, and flamboyant writer. To the stories themselves, Mr. Gertz, Harris's first biographer and lifelong student of his work, has added a Preface and an After­word on the writer, his life, and his in­fluence.
