The Fellowship: The Untold Story of Frank Lloyd Wright & the Taliesin Fellowship

Synopsis

“Compelling.” — Kirkus Reviews“The Fellowship both fascinates and infuriates. You can’t top the material for richness: genius, sex, spirituality, madness, money, mania.” — USA Today“[A] blockbuster…packed [with] plenty of sex and surprises. …This book has a lot of news.” — Capital Times“A mesmerizing account of the drama that compelled the great architect…to greater accomplishments…and the cost of that success.” — Ken Burns, award-winning director of The Civil War, Jazz, and Frank Lloyd Wright“Authoritative and eminently readable…uncover[s] the sometimes strange, sometimes scandalous, always tumultuous atmosphere in which Wright created his pioneering designs.” — Robert C. Twombly, author of Frank Lloyd Wright: His Life and His Architecture“This book replaces Wright the demigod with Wright the man…[A] new—and truer—picture of Frank Lloyd Wright.” — Alan Hess, author of Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses“Sheds light on the forgotten men and women who played so important a role in bringing…[Wright’s] conceptions to reality.” — Franklin Toker, author of Fallingwater Rising“Fascinating…good history. And a ripping read.” — Architect's Newspaper“An extraordinary and disquieting tale...that captures the strange, shadowy and all-too-human world that can gather around genius.” — Mark Stevens, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of de Kooning“First to treat the Taliesin Fellowship as a whole — its origin, its workings and its inner life.” — Wall Street Journal“Just when you thought there was nothing new to be learned about the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a massive, gossipy and yet compulsively readable new book proves you wrong. . . .Friedland and Zellman break new ground with dozens of firsthand interviews that illuminate the crucial role of the apprentices—and of his regl last wife, Olgivanna—in shaping the second half of the architect’s storied and controversial career.” — Chicago Sun-Times
