“Review of *An Organic Architecture, The Architecture of Democracy* and *Genius and the Mobocracy*, both by Frank Lloyd Wright; *The Industrial Revolution Runs Away*, by Frank Lloyd Wright; *The Imperial Hotel, Frank Lloyd Wright and the Architecture of Unity*, by Cary James; and *Frank Lloyd Wright, Public Buildings*, by Martin Pawley”

AboutA multi-book review covering several early-1970s reissues and studies of Frank Lloyd Wright's writings and buildings. Wilson highlights the reissue of *Genius and the Mobocracy* (1949), Wright's own tribute to Louis Sullivan — "the tragedy, triumph, and significance of the great man" — as revealing more about Wright's own personality than about Sullivan, portraying Sullivan as primarily an ornamentalist while leaving Wright's own contribution and the office force's role underacknowledged; also reviews Cary James's photographic study of Wright's Imperial Hotel and Martin Pawley's survey of Wright's public buildings.
