Frank Lloyd Wright (Paperback, New edition)

Meryle Secrest's "Frank Lloyd Wright: A Biography" focuses on Wright's family history, personal adventures, and colorful friends and family. Secrest had unprecedented access to an archive of over one hundred thousand of Wright's letters, photographs, drawings, and books. She also interviewed surviving devotees, students, and relatives. The result is an explicit portrait of both the genius architect and the provocative con-man.
