Drawing on the author’s career as an architectural journalist and critic, the work connects Wright’s creative drive with broader questions of character, creativity, and influence. The introduction and early chapters set out the long, indirect path to the project and frame Wright’s architectural achievements alongside overlooked subtleties and enduring cultural impact.","Praise for Ada Louise Huxtable’s Frank Lloyd Wright  \n“A fine and unsparing appreciation of an American original.”  \n—Kirkus Reviews  \n“They are all here, those eye-popping events that make Frank Lloyd Wright so appealing. . . . Insightful, thought-provoking and readable . . . The eventfulness of the extraordinary life and the refreshing intelligence and craft of the author make this a pleasure to read.”  \n—The New York Times Book Review  \n“Stimulating . . . Engaging . . . With its dollop of sizzle, this fluently written biography will provoke renewed interest in Wright’s architecture among general readers.”  \n—Publishers Weekly  \n“Ms. Huxtable won me to her side immediately.”  \n—The New York Sun  \n“An ideal match: Ada Louise Huxtable, the finest architecture critic the United States has, takes on the willful visionary [Frank Lloyd Wright] .”  \n—San Francisco Chronicle  \n“Alive.” —  \n—The Boston Globe  \n“[Huxtable is] one of the leading architectural journalists of our time. . . . It is fitting that her extensive experience on the American architecture scene has been brought to bear on the life and work of its most famous architect.”  \n—Chicago Tribune  \n“Enlightened.” —The New York Review of Books  \n“As readers of Huxtable’s Pulitzer Prize-winning criticism know, she is a discerning writer fluent in architectural thought and practice. . . . Comfortable with ambiguity and complexity, Huxtable not only parses both key events and overlooked subtleties, she also wrestles with the prickly questions about character and creativity raised by the contrast between Wright’s self-serving, tyrannical behavior and his enormously influential achievements.”  \n—Booklist  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPENGUIN BOOKS  \nFRANK LLOYD WRIGHT  \nAda Louise Huxtable, former New York Times critic, winner of the first Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism, and MacArthur Fellow, is currently the architecture critic for the Wall Street Journal.
