From the way we build to the way we live, Frank Lloyd Wright’s influence on American architecture is noticeable all over. Now, Ada Louise Huxtable, the Pulitzer Prize- winning architecture writer for The Wall Street Journal—and chief architecture critic for The NY Times for nearly twenty years—provides an outstanding look at the architect and the person. She explores the resources of his tumultuous and troubled life and his long career as master builder as well as his search for lasting, real love. Along the way, Huxtable introduces readers to Wright’s masterpieces: Taliesin, rebuilt after tragedy and murder; the Imperial Hotel, one of the few structures left standing after Japan’s catastrophic 1923 earthquake; and tranquil Fallingwater, to which millions have traveled to experience its quiet grace. From the journey, Huxtable takes us not only in to the mind of the person who drew the blueprints, but also in to the very heart of the medium, which he changed forever. A story of great triumph and heartbreak, Frank Lloyd Wright is, like Wright’s own creations, an expertly wrought tribute to a guy whose genius lives on in the very landscape of American architecture.
