My Life and Loves by Frank Harris (Grove Press)

My Life and Loves is the autobiography of Frank Harris (1856–1931), published privately by Harris between 1922 and 1927, and by Jack Kahane’s Obelisk Press in 1931. The book gives a graphic account of Harris’ sexual adventures and relates gossip about the sexual activities of celebrities of his day. The work was banned in both the United States and Britain for a span of 40 years. By today’s standards, however, the sexual behavior it portrays is rather unexceptional, consisting primarily in the patronizing of prostitutes or quasi-prostitutes. — Wikipedia
