Used. Hardcover. T. C. Boyle expertly dismantles the myth of America’s most celebrated architect by viewing his towering ego through the foundation-shaking perspectives of the four wives and mistresses who kept his domestic blueprints from completely collapsing. Instead of offering a dry architectural history, Boyle crafts a brilliantly irreverent portrait of domestic turmoil, charting how a man obsessed with organic design could be so utterly inorganic in his personal relationships. You will marvel at how a genius famous for building structures designed to last could manage to shatter every conventional moral and marital boundary in sight.
