Book Synopsis
Frank Lloyd Wright, a fervent believer in individualism and an advocate of democracy, worked in communities throughout his career of more than six decades. These communities, which he led with authority, made possible his extraordinary productivity. This book presents a study of Wright's life in relation to Taliesin and his other communities.

Trade Review

An essential book on the thought and action of Frank Lloyd Wright through his relationship to communities.

-- Eric Lloyd Wright, grandson, architect and former apprentice

Marty offers insights into the public and private life of Wright that have not been previously revealed.

-- H. Roger Grant, Clemson University

A detailed account of one of America's least understood and most significant examples of a true live/work, cultural/educational community, all as seen through the experiences of those who were there to make it happen.

-- Vernon Swaback, FAIA, FAICP: 20-year member of the Taliesin Fellowship and former Chairman of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
