Written during what he himself terms, a "bad time" in his life, in this book the master architect recounts his work, his philosophy, and his personal life. He recalls his childhood, his apprenticeship (the decisive association with Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan), his self-described stormy personal life (including the affair that lead to his second marriage), his travels, and the circumstances surrounding some of his greatest architectural achievements--including the Prairie and Usonian Houses, the various incantations of Taliesin, the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, and the famous Hollyhock House.
