"An anecdotal reminiscence of America’s chief living genius by his son — short, unconventional, amusing and overall revealing." — Book Week.
Frank Lloyd Wright is widely regarded as the twentieth century’s greatest architect — an unconventional genius who transformed both residential and commercial building design with his concept of “organic” architecture. Throughout a long and productive life, Wright designed some 800 buildings, received scores of honors and awards, and left an indelible imprint on modern architectural theory and practice.
In this charming, readable memoir, Wright the architect and father comes to life through the vivid recollections and firsthand understanding of his son. John Lloyd Wright characterizes his father as “a rebel, a jolt to civilization, whose romantic theme — purposive planning and organic and natural unity in inventing and combining forms — is an epoch in the architecture of the world.” His unique view of the “epoch” will intrigue architects, students, and everything who admire the work of the visionary and uncompromising spirit. An extra attraction of the volume is the inclusion of the entire text of William C. Gannet's The House Beautiful, an exceptionally rare work designed and printed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
