This is an iconoclastic biography of Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright is often described as the greatest of American architects. His works among them Taliesin North, Taliesin West, Fallingwater, the Johnson Wax buildings, the Guggenheim are well known. This book is insightful as it peels off the layers of masks, most built by Wright himself to reveal this mans real character.

The book has many black and white pictures and is very entertaining

At the time Wright was designing the Coonley house, he had already gained a reputation as something of a ladies man, known to go "automobiling" with married women; Wright justified this activity, highly unusual in Oak Park if not in the racier purlieus of Chicago, on the grounds that the women were clients and that he was engaged in the professional task of showing them houses he designed.
