Book Description

<DIV><DIV>The most pivotal and yet least understood event of Frank Lloyd Wright’s celebrated life involves the brutal murders in 1914 of seven adults and children dear to the architect and the destruction by fire of Taliesin, his landmark residence, near Spring Green, Wisconsin. Supplying both a gripping mystery story and a portrait of the artist in his prime, William Drennan wades through the myths surrounding Wright and the massacre, casting fresh light on the formulation of Wright’s architectural ideology and the cataclysmic effects that the Taliesin murders exerted on the fabled architect and on his subsequent designs. <DIV> 

Reader Reviews

If ever there was a paradoxial person in this world it would be Mr. Wright. He was a genius and an eccentric man at the same time. He loved what he did and he it well but at the expense of others. This book delves into the his life style and his love of Mamah but focuses mostly on his work and his mind. I am only halfway thru the book and still have not been 'introduced' to the madman who ended the spirit of FLW. But so far...this is a must-read for FLW fans and just for those who want a good-read.
