An annotated typescript of Pierre Loving's "Frank Harris (A Torn Page from an Old Note Book)," undated
In this reminiscence, Loving and Harris discuss boxing, literature, and Harris's bout with Belgian writer Maurice Maeterlinck. Interestingly, Loving is also reputed to be the source of the first published report about the now infamous boxing match between Ernest Hemingway and fellow writer Morley Callaghan. Hemingway blamed Loving for spreading an erroneous version of the story wherein Callaghan knocked the novelist out.
