Their affair—partly aided and abetted by publisher Jack McClelland—included an extended correspondence until several years later, when Farley finally obtained a Mexican divorce and the two were married in Texas. They were together until Farley’s death 54 years later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClaire, a brilliant diarist, has given author Michael Harris complete access to her journals and letters, as well as Farley’s letters, and Harris has conducted extensive interviews with her and original research. The result is a literary love story for the ages, complete with photos of the couple who defied conventions of their time to be together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished in partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael Harris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48283687518459,"sku":"9781771649773","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781771649773.jpg?v=1772486349","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/farley-and-claire-9781771649773","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
