From the award-winning and best-selling author of Hemingway's Boat
- a ground-breaking biography that illuminates the life, mind and
work of one of the icons of twentieth-century America. Frank Lloyd
Wright has long been known as both a supreme artist and an
insufferable egotist who held in contempt almost everything aside
from his own genius as an architect. But in this masterly work we
discover a man dogged by traumas, racked by lies, and stifled by
the myths he wove around himself: a man aware of the choices he
made, and of their costs. This is the Wright who was haunted by his
father, about whom he told the greatest lie of his life. And this
is the Wright of many other overlooked aspects of his story: his
close, and perhaps romantic, relationship with friend and early
mentor Cecil Corwin; the connection between the Tulsa Race Riot of
1921 and the murder of his mistress, her two children and four
others at his beloved Wisconsin home by a servant gone mad; and the
eerie, unmistakable role of fires in his eventful life. Showing us
Wright's facades along with their cracks, Hendrickson helps us form
a deep and more human understanding of the man, and a fresh
appreciation of his monumental artistic achievements. With
prodigious research, unique vision and his ability to make sense of
a life in ways at once unexpected, poetic and brilliant, he has
given us the defining book on one of the greatest creative talents
of twentieth-century America.
