In Make Believe, Diana Athill, acclaimed author of Instead of a Letter and Stet, remembers her turbulent friendship with Hakim Jamal, a young black convert to the teachings of Malcolm X, whom she met in London in the late 1960s.
Despite a desperately troubled youth, he became an eloquent spokesman for the black underclass, was Jean Seberg''s lover and published a book about Malcolm X, before descending into a mania that had him believing he was God.
A witness to his struggles, Diana Athill writes with her characteristic honesty about her entanglement with Jamal, Jamal''s relationship with the daughter of a British MP, Gail Benson, and Jamal''s, and separately Gail''s, eventual murders.
