...beautiful people. There are mornings on the tennis court where Toback, an experienced player, barely manages to beat Beginner Brown. There are afternoons at the Black Economic Union, the organization Brown founded to generate capital and talent for Negro enterprises. There are evenings at discotheques that run wildly into all-night parties at J.B.'s with celebrities, athletes and girls in all manner of shapes and shades. At one point Brown and his girl of the moment, Toback and his, engage in mixed doubles on a king-sized bed. The competition never lets...

But the public image concealed an all-night reader who forged through Flaubert, Rimbaud, Joyce, Proust, Eliot, Pound, Cummings, Stein, Hemingway. In the fall of 1926, with a wad in his wallet and a life of leisure in view, he changed his name to Nathanael West and sailed off to Paris to join the Lost Generation. It was going to be ortolans all the way. But that winter the family fortune showed signs of imminent collapse. Early in 1927, West found himself working...
