In the New York Times books blog, paper cuts, Rachel Donadio has a nice obituary reminiscence about Matthew J. Bruccoli, the Fitzgerald expert, who wrote many many volumes on F. Scott,, particularly about his time in Hollywood.

In high school I was a Fitzgerald fanatic, and wrote a big senior essay on Fitzgerald (although I can't recall what the paper was about). I do recall reading many of Bruccoli's books, or the books he edited. I also recall a visit to Princeton's archives where I was able to actually look at handle Fitzgerald originals including his diary.
