He was part of the literary London set, a group of well-connected people who like to discuss their own lives, interests, and work on the pages of influential newspapers and magazines. His dad was a famous writer, which must have been a blessing (access to the literary and publishing world without the drudge of having to wait to be discovered) and a curse (the inevitable imposter syndrome). I think they admired his style, his ability to survive as a writer, and his legend (e.g. allegedly running an escort agency from his flat).
