Frank Lloyd Wright (Penguin Lives)

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