Book excerpt: To throw light on the motives & movements of a conspicuous literary figure of the last generation, two friends of Harris's from Chicago, Dr. Tobin, his 'authorized' biographer, & Mr. Gertz, an attorney who was Harris's agent in the latter years of his life have undertaken to sift the truth about Harris & to present a portrait of him that will reconcile the most shocking incongruities of his character with some of the fine performances of his pen. "Messrs. Tobin & Gertz have done a very good life of him. With great skill, they disentangle the facts from the cobwebs of fancy that he spun. They tell his story simply, clearly & honestly."--AMERICAN MERCURY. Illus.
