Then that's the collection I found in my library. "The Comedian" seemed familiar to me; maybe it was also done as a movie, or an episode of an anthology TV series -- or maybe I read it years ago somewhere else. Lehman is a good storyteller.The version I have has a bunch of short stories also, but "Sweet Smell of Success" is the first. I've read about half the others so far and have, basically, enjoyed them. Most are pretty short except for "The Comedian" which is similar in length to "SSOS," but so far, the collection I'm reading, hasn't had the prequel you note. I'll come back if it shows up.
