From the publisher

A biography of the master architect that Time said was "the best so far" and Library Journal called "a spellbinding portrait 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 the most engaging and thorough account ever of Wright's life, work, and professional and personal circle, a gripping account of a complicated, challenging genius.
