He was part of the Fitrovia set, the ‘Wheatsheaf writers’ of 1930s. Steiner’s Tour was written before ‘Memoirs of a Public Baby’ but appeared two years after it, doing ‘the customary circuit of publishers who were reluctant to accept this unruly but incandescent mass of material’, according to the blurb.
