Book Reviews of Frank Lloyd Wright: An Autobiography
Book Review: A testimony to his ego
Summary: 3 Stars
Frank Lloyd Wright was a great architect, but he was never a writer. This book is more a testimony of one man's enormous ego than it is an insightful look into his own life. Wright was more obsessed with his legacy than anything else, and this book was his way of solidifying his reputation in a world that was being increasingly dominated by European modern architecture. He delivers copious lectures along the way as well, provides a spirited defense of "free love," in regard to his notorious affair with Mamah Borthwick Cheney, and reinvents his childhood (in third person) to suit his image of himself. It takes a tremendous amount of patience to make it through this book and unless you are determined to make the effort I would go for one of the many biographies, like Meryle Secrest's Frank Lloyd Wright: A Biography or Robert Twombly's Frank Lloyd Wright: His Life and His Architecture.
