About
Frank Harris was born in Galway, Ireland. He was an Irish-American editor, novelist, short story writer, journalist and publisher.In 1922 he travelled to Berlin to publish his best-known work, his autobiography My Life and Loves. He first came to general notice as the editor of a series of London papers including the Evening News, the Fortnightly Review and the Saturday Review, the last-named being the high point of his journalistic career, with H. G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw as regular contributors. From 1908 to 1914 Harris concentrated on working as a novelist, authoring a series of popular books such as The Bomb, The Man Shakespeare, and The Yellow Ticket and Other Stories. His attempts at playwriting were less successful: only Mr. and Mrs. Daventry was produced on the stage.
