Frank Harris Knihy

Neautorisovaný životopis na základě přímých informací s doslovem pana Shawa. Dílo toto vzbudilo při svém vydání skutečnou sensaci, nejen pro osobnost Shawovu samu, ale hlavně pro neobyčejně ostrý způsob, jakým autor - dlouholetý Shawův přítel a příznivec - líčí, posuzuje a nemilosrdně odsuzuje velkého Ira. ... Kniha je sensací pro ctitele a příznivce velkého Ira i pro jeho odpůrce a nepřátele, neboť poznají nejen dramatika, ale i člověka se všemi jeho chybami a slabostmi, jak ho viděl přítel, který ho miloval i nenáviděl. (citováno doslovně z knihy - jen začátek a konec - tedy výrazně zkráceno)
