In Paris, where he settled in 1930 "to study vice," he worked at panhandling and slept on park benches. He also wrote his best work, a swatch of unabashed autobiographical writings (Tropic of Cancer; Tropic of Capricorn and others), and several volumes of second-rate philosophy with first-rate titles (What Are You Going to Do About Alf? ; Money and How It Gets that Way; Max and the White Phagocytes...
