Effervescent Frank Lloyd Wright

The Effervescent Frank Lloyd Wright isn’t an architectural book, nor a biography, nor a serious book (though written in all seriousness). It is a lighthearted, rambling exposition, elucidated in no chronology: from the serious AIA to the more joyful music, jealousy and egotistic chapters. This talkative book is meant to be entertaining—sometimes with a firm (burst of) laughter, sometimes deeply sorrowful. Storms isn’t concerned about her book being too gossipy, for Wright has himself to blame. This volume is, like Wright, effervescent (bubbling, scintillating, sparkling, lively). It was hard not to idolize/idealize the brilliance of Wright…and Storms didn’t succeed. The book also contains a bulky Course of Life” that is—as a tribute to the recalcitrant architect—written in reverse. It discusses colorful details, without aspiring to be an exhaustive biography.Storms, Nicole is the author of 'Effervescent Frank Lloyd Wright', published 2007 under ISBN 9781424131655 and ISBN 1424131650.
