The result is a picture which both supports and contradicts the charming vagabond persona depicted in Niven's own bestselling memoirs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile millions throughout his life were enchanted by Niven's happy-go-lucky charisma and world-class anecdotage, he was in many respects a private figure, haunted by a fear of failure, and a victim of several key tragedies in his personal life.
