Frank Harris

Love this website! Have just finished reading Philippa Pullar's biography (American edition). A brilliant man who just seems to leave absurd and/or hairraising situations in his wake. Would love to see some photographs of the Cesari Reserve at Eze. Do any exist? It sounded extraordinary. Also, what became of this place subsequently? Also, why did Frank and Nellie take American citizenship? They only returned for one brief visit, I think. I have a copy of "His Life and Adventures" but I think I shall try to acquire the original volumes now. Mark

Harris as the literary rascal has always seemed to me to be underestimated as a serious writer.

he is mad as a hatter

i recently found the author james sallis and of course had to have all his books. i started with the first and loved it. in the second one named "the moth" he made a reference to frank harris, something about he had a thing about geese. well i was curious, so i turned to google and found your web site. how fascinating to unearth a whole new world of literary exploration. i loved the magic glasses short story. thanks for sharing.

I have just been re-reading the Oscar Wilde "confessions" which I like more this time around. It may not be all that accurate, but it gives a vivid picture. Does anyone know if there is a good biography of Harris? Does the Hotel de Bains at LA Napoule still exist? What happened to Harris' hotel on the Riviera?

I had only read one book that made me laugh out more loudly each time I read it until I came across Frank. The man was a great entertainer and deserves to be in the first rank of the great, vanity driven, innovators like Warhol. The book is 'Catch 22'

fantastic fellas,my congratulations.all his books are great.i wanted to meet charlie chaplin before he died but alas i didnt make it,no matter.apparently according to wilde harris owed him money which he didnt pay him.ah well.thanx for the opportunity.yours truly,p

Do you have anything on critics of his works? I need that information for a paper. Thanks!

Frank Harris never 'erd of 'im. I have now thanks! Always nice to take a zig zag wander and sweep up somethin' new. Know what I mean?

May I add a small correction to the bibliogrpahical entry 'La Vie et les confessions d'Oscar Wilde. Mercure de France. (FR). Berlin. Translated by Henry D. Davray and Madeline.'? 'Madeline' should be Madeleine Vernon.
