Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders
Conceived as the apotheosis of Wright’s prairie house style, the original Taliesin would stand in all its isolated glory for only a few months before the bloody slayings that rocked the nation and reduced the structure itself to a smoking hull . . .
Supplying both a gripping mystery story and an authoritative portrait of the artist as a young man, Death in a Prairie House wades through the myths surrounding Wright and the massacre, while casting fresh light on the formulation of Wright’s architectural ideology and the cataclysmic effects that the Taliesin murders exerted on the fabled architect and on his subsequent designs.
