A powerhouse of architectural biography by Pulitzer Prize winning critic Ada Louise Huxtable of America's greatest architect
Renowned architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable's biography Frank Lloyd Wright looks at the architect and the man, from his tumultuous personal life to his long career as a master builder. Along the way she introduces Wright's masterpieces, from the tranquil Fallingwater to Taliesin, rebuilt after tragedy and murder-not only exploring the mind of the man who drew the blueprints but also delving into the very heart of the medium, which he changed forever.
"The eventfulness of the extraordinary life and the refreshing intelligence and craft of the author make this book a pleasure to read." -- The New York Times
