I was sent a copy of Tom Dardis' "The Man Who Wouldn't Lie Down" as a
gift:  it takes an interesting different line to some of the other
Buster Keaton material I've seen (notably, it seems a good deal more
sympathetic to Buster's Natalie: but did his second wife *really* turn
tricks to increase their income?!)

I see that it's an old book: is there anything in particular that I need
to watch out for as having been superseded by modern scholarship? The
thing that immediately strikes me is Dardis' 'abused child' theory,
which I'm pretty sure has been widely discounted (and doesn't seem
consistent with some of the other material in his own book...)
