New York City: A Photographic Celebration Book

I enjoyed this well-researched portrayal of Frank Lloyd Wright's life and work. I felt it was equally balanced between his background, life as an architect and his personal life. As Huxtable points out over and over, FLW created Frank Lloyd Wright, even fudging his birth date to make himself younger than he actually was. He might be the definition of a difficult creative genius.

I am fascinated by FLW. I've read a lot about him, visited many of his buildings around the country as well as Taliesin (Wisconsin) and watched Ken Burns biography on PBS. Reading this biography didn't tread much new ground, but I'm still glad I did. The thing I appreciated the most was Huxtable's reference to other works about FLW throughout the book as well as an extensive bibliography.
