He went on to enjoy a strange, posthumous career as the model for characters in other people's books: as Bohemian novelist X. Trapnel in A. Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time (v.10 Books Do Furnish a Room) & as Prince Yakimov in Olivia Manning's The Balkan Trilogy. #NYRBWomen25 #OliviaManning

She had not given him a thought for years. He was probably dead. There might be no one left in Camber who had even heard of him; yet, suddenly, there he was in her mind, as alive as he had ever been, which was not saying much.
