"Oscar Wilde: His Life and Confessions" by Frank Harris and "Memories of Oscar Wilde" by Bernard Shaw, published by Horizon Press, 1974, Complete in one volume.

Dust jacket with an original price on the front flap [some edge wear]; hard boards, original publisher’s dark-gray cloth with gilt lettering on spine; 5.3/4" x 8.1/2"; 612 + 32 pages, a little soiling, very good condition.

"Literary editor and author Frank Harris played the perfect Boswell to Wilde's Johnson in the London literary scene; he also was one of the few who remained loyal to Wilde after his conviction in 1895 and his release from jail two years later. Colorful, opinionated, sympathetic, and always frank, Harris's provocative biography vividly re-creates the celebrated wit and conversationalist." [a review]

"A biography of Wilde's life really reads quite a bit like a novel (and even more shockingly almost parallels his one novel- A Picture of Dorian Grey.) I loved all the quirky and witty quotes from dinner conversations and if I could go back in time and meet ANYONE I would want it to be him. This book only further deepened that conviction instead of dragging me away from it." [excerpt from a private review]

"Such actions are beyond praise: it is the perfume of such sweet and noble human sympathy that makes this wild beasts' cage a world habitable for men." [Frank Harris, a quote from the book]
