'My Life and Loves' is the autobiography of the Ireland-born, naturalized-American writer and editor Frank Harris (18561931). As published privately by Harris between 1922 and 1927, and by Jack Kahane's Obelisk Press in 1931, the work consisted of four volumes, illustrated with many drawings and photographs of nude women.

The work was banned in both the United States and Britain for a span of 40 years. At one time it was sold in Paris for more than $100.
