Frank Lloyd Wright has long been known as a rank egotist who held in
contempt almost everything aside from his own genius. Harder to
detect, but no less real, is a Wright who fully understood, and
suffered from, the choices he made. In delving into these choices,
neglected aspects of his story are revealed including the eerie role
of fires in his life; how he was haunted by his father; the
complexities of his close, and perhaps romantic, relationship with
friend and early mentor Cecil Corwin; and the connection between the
Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 and the murder of his mistress, her two
children, and four others at his beloved Wisconsin home. Join Gail
Saltz and University of Pennsylvania Professor and author of Plagued
by Fire: The Dreams and Furies of Frank Lloyd Wright, Paul Hendrickson
in conversation for a fresh, deep, and more human understanding of the
premier American architect. A book signing follows the event.
