The man is also described as an extremely complex, often troubled individual. From his poverty-stricken childhood to his days at Brown University, from his constant struggles with his work to his consuming relations with Nathaniel West (his wife's sister) , this portrait is filled with unpublished anecdotes illuminating a personality at once elusive, sad tormented and uproariously funny.
