    About this audiobook

    Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Ada Louise Huxtable's biography 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.

      This is a solid biography of Frank Lloyd Wright. Full of anecdotes and quotes from Wright's own Autobiography, Huxtable's book tells the true story of a crazy genius. I went into this book already a fan of Wright's architecture, and was amazed at the full story of his life. There were scandals galore, tragedy, reinvention, strife, and acclaim. Any Wright fan should read this book.
