Description

The Taliesin Diary: A Year with Frank Lloyd Wright This diary offers a unique glimpse into life at Taliesin, the architectural colony in south central Wisconsin, during the 1940s. Written by Priscilla J. Henken, who lived and worked there as part of The Fellowship, it provides an intimate account of daily life on the communal working farm. The diary chronicles the daily routine, from cooking duties to editing Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography, as well as the internecine battles among the apprentices and their complex relationships with Wright and his third wife. Annotations supplement the diary, and accompanying essays by several scholars explore the cultural history of the period. A fascinating insight into midcentury architecture, social movements, and cultural clashes, this diary is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
