AGAINST THE CURRENT: As I Remember F. Scott Fitzgerald door Frances Kroll Ring
Not as compelling or as well written as Sheilah Graham's memoir, but interesting nevertheless. Even though Frances Kroll was a paid employee of Fitzgerald's, she was one of the closest people to him during his last two years of life. She typed all of the notes that later became "The Last Tycoon"; thus, her perspective is unique and this book is definitely worth a read.
