- Synopsis
- Constructed in 1911 as a summer home for the architect and his mistress, Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin residence stood for only a few years. On an August night in 1914, it became the scene of a brutal mass murder and was almost completely destroyed by fire. In this text, Drennan (English, U. of Wisconsin) traces the events that led up to that night, examines the murderer's motives, and considers the effects of the loss of his home and loved ones on Wright's life and career. Terrace Books is a division of the U. of Wisconsin Press. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
