A cultural icon who defined the twentieth-century American landscape, Frank Lloyd Wright has been studied from what seems to be every possible angle. While many books focus on his works, torrid personal life, or both, few solely consider his professional persona, as a man enmeshed in a web of prominent public figures and political ideas. In this new biography, Robert McCarter distills Wright’s life and work into a concise account that explores the beliefs and relationships so powerfully reflected in his architectural works.
McCarter examines here how Wright aspired to influence America’s evolving democratic society by the challenges his buildings posed to traditional views of private and public space. He investigates Wright’s relationships with key leaders of art, industry, and society, and how their views came to have concrete significance in Wright’s work and writings. Wright argued that architecture should be the “background or framework” for daily life, not the “object,” and McCarter dissects how and why he aspired to this and other ideals, such as his belief in the ethical duty of architects to improve society and culture.

Tariq Rahman’s autobiography can be enjoyed for its accessible and humorous style of writing. It reads like a story of a certain sub-culture of Pakistani society which touches upon lived life in the armed forces and universities of the country. It also touches upon life in other countries and some of the world’s top universities: University of California, Berkeley, Cambridge, Oxford and Heidelberg. It is also of interest for both social and academic historians since they can cross check certain accounts of trends, fashions and attitudes in different walks of life in Pakistan and abroad. It provides valuable insights into the way universities functioned and how research was done in Pakistan between the 1980s till 2024. The author’s way of functioning may not be the typical way in which most academics functioned but still it provides some understanding of the processes of conducting research, publishing and teaching. It is relevant to mention that there is paucity of biographical accounts of academics in Pakistan. This autobiography, therefore, is an attempt to fill in this gap in biographical literature.
