Nietzsche Bio

Walter Kaufman's _Nietzsche: Physchologist, Philosopher, Antichrist_ is probably the most comprehensive Nietzsche bio, but you have to read it keeping in mind Kaufman's very Modernistic, Structuralist view of the world.  He misreads Nietzsche at just about every turn, and reduces his thought to mere rubbish often.  Although Kaufman works to recover Nietzsche from his misinterpreted past, he overlays this corrective with a misreading of his own.  But it's a good bio (I guess) if not a good critique.

Hi all--

Can anyone recommend a concise bio on good ole Friedrich--there's probably a 
many, but a friend wants to check one out.

Thx

Rich
