Over the years I have read several books about the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. I recently finished The Fellowship: The Untold Story of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship. Although this book has not been well received by many Wright fans, I could not put it down. The authors (Friedland & Zellman) do an amazing job of capturing the complexities of Wright and his inspiring and at times depressing life. In addition, they portray a fascinating time in history that is hard to fathom. This book is focused on Wright and his life more than his architecture. It explores Wright's complicated leadership style, his willingness to assume huge levels of risk, pursue his vision, change the way we all live, and his many dysfunctional relationships. You finish this book wondering how one individual could live such a colorful life. More info about Wright (including a list of 20 books he authored) can be found at franklloydwright.org
