    About this audiobook

    Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Ada Louise Huxtable's biography of America's greatest architect

    Renowned architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable's biography Frank Lloyd Wright looks at the architect and the man, from his tumultuous personal life to his long career as a master builder. Along the way she introduces Wright's masterpieces--from the tranquil Fallingwater to Taliesin, rebuilt after tragedy and murder--not only exploring the mind of the man who drew the blueprints but also delving into the very heart of the medium, which he changed forever.

    Ada Louise Huxtable

    Ada Louise Huxtable (née Landman; March 14, 1921 - January 7, 2013) was an architecture critic and writer on architecture. In 1970 she was awarded the first ever Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. She was born in New York City in 1921, the daughter of Michael Landman, a physician and co-author (with his brother, Rabbi Isaac Landman) of the play A Man of Honor. She received an A. B. (magna cum laude) from Hunter College, CUNY in 1941. In 1942, she married industrial designer L. Garth Huxtable, and continued graduate study at New York University from 1942-1950. From 1950-1951 she spent one year in Italy on a scholarship of the U.S.-Italy Fulbright Commission. She served as Curatorial Assistant for Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York from 1946-1950. She was a contributing editor to Progressive Architecture and Art in America from 1950-1963 before being named the first architecture critic at The New York Times, a post she held from 1963-1982. She received grants from the Graham Foundation for a number of projects, including the book Will They Ever Finish Bruckner Boulevard? (1989). She was credited as one of the main forces behind the founding of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1965 and was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1974. She was the architecture critic for The Wall Street Journal, a position she took up in 1997. She wrote over ten books on architecture, including Kicked A Building Lately? (1976); Architecture, Anyone? Cautionary Tales of the Building Art (1988); Goodbye History, Hello Hamburger: An Anthology of Architectural Delights and Disasters (1986); and The Tall Building Artistically Reconsidered: A History of the Skyscraper (1993). She also wrote a 2004 biography of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), a first generation Welsh-American architect. Ms. Huxtable died in New York City in 2013, aged 91.

      This is a solid biography of Frank Lloyd Wright. Full of anecdotes and quotes from Wright's own Autobiography, Huxtable's book tells the true story of a crazy genius. I went into this book already a fan of Wright's architecture, and was amazed at the full story of his life. There were scandals galore, tragedy, reinvention, strife, and acclaim. Any Wright fan should read this book.
