(3) YA Adkins isn't stingy with praise for "the most imaginative artist with walls and roofs and windows and doors anyone has ever seen." But he's also quick to point out Wright's egotism, dishonesty, and political naiveté, while chronicling the architect's childhood, marriages, love affairs, and prolific seventy-three-year career. Like the other biographies in this stand-out series, it's a balanced, thoughtful, well-researched portrait. Bib., ind.
