I am a professional writer and am negociating the sale of a book. My editor wants to know of similar works either written or film or TV. I remember one but can't recall the name. Its the story of an artist in London in the 30's or 40's who lives the good life before going to America where he has an affair unwittingly with an underage girl. He flees the states and goes back to London where he falls on hard times, eats cat food and sells copies of a newspaper called The Big Issue. he ends up getting some money and settles in a small town in France where he makes weekly visits to a prostitute. He dies and his diaries are found and turned into a book and this film. Brilliant acting and dialogue, a rteal bohemian memoire. Please help me find the name!
