Synopsis

Frank Lloyd Wrights life was one long, howling struggle against the bonds of convention, whether aesthetic, social, moral, or romantic. He never did what was expected, and he never let anything get in the way of his largerthanlife appetites and visions. Told through the experiences of the four women who loved him, this imaginative account of Wrights raucous life blazes with Boyles trademark wit and invention. Boyles protean voice captures these very different women and, in doing so, creates a masterful ode to the creative life in all its complexity and grandeur.
