This is a solid biography of Frank Lloyd Wright. Full of anecdotes and quotes from Wright's own Autobiography, Huxtable's book tells the true story of a crazy genius. I went into this book already a fan of Wright's architecture, and was amazed at the full story of his life. There were scandals galore, tragedy, reinvention, strife, and acclaim. Any Wright fan should read this book.
