A colorful and troubled life in London is matched by equally idiosyncratic work. Khan cultivated multiple selves, playing an aristocratic Prince, a modernist exile, a firebrand therapist, and an art patron. Khan's writing is a strange and luminous weave of decolonisation, psychoanalytic theory, and modernist literature, with each of these forces exerts a transforming pressure on the others. This study draws on hitherto unseen archival material to explore to tell Khan's story. It is a story that shows how the unique contexts of British psychoanalysis and end of the imperial project in India key figures shape our understandings of key figures — James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Joan Míro, Georges Braque — from the history of modernism. Benjamin Poore is a Teaching Fellow in the School of English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London.
