Frank Lloyd Wright is widely regarded as the twentieth century's greatest architect - an unconventional genius who transformed both residential and commercial building design with his concept of organic architecture. During a long and productive life, Wright designed some 800 buildings, received scores of honors and awards, and left an indelible imprint on modern architectural theory and practice. In this charming memoir, Wright the architect and father comes to life through the vivid recollections and firsthand knowledge of his son. John Lloyd Wright characterizes his father as a rebel, a jolt to civilization, whose romantic theme - purposive planning, and organic unity in inventing and combining forms - is an epoch in the architecture of the world. His unique view of that epoch will intrigue architects, students and all who admire the work of this visionary and uncompromising spirit.

"Interesting perspective on such a well known man. It was heart breaking and wonderful at the same time. A must read for any art/architecture lover!" — Cynthia (4 out of 5 stars)

" I enjoyed reading it actually, but ran out of time with the Library. Who wouldn't want to read about someone getting fired by his father. "
" I couldn't finish this. I am a huge FLW fan, but found the writing to be so bad I could not finish. "
" Poorly written by Frank Lloyd Wright's son, an architect - like his father. He should have stuck with blue prints, writing is not his forte. "
