I, too, like the Bruccoli for its comprehensiveness.  (The title is
_Some Sort of Epic Grandeur_.)  For a more argument-driven biography,
one that pays attention to Fitzgerald's racial and gender politics and
their origin in his familial situation, you might look at Scott
Donaldson, _Fool for Love_.  The biography that's the greatest pleasure
to read is still in my view Arthur Mizener, _The Far Side of Paradise_
(Houghton Mifflin, 1949).

I'm currently working on a psychobiographical/psychohistorical essay on
F that I hope will find a home in the next few months.  I can let you
know when it's accepted & slated to come out if you like.  If so, please
email me offlist: gforter1-AT-gwm.sc.edu.

Good luck!  --Greg

The Matthew Bruccoli one--it's very long, though.  The title is
something 
like "Some Kind of Epic Grandeur."
