The Women

From "America's most imaginative contemporary novelist" (Newsweek), a novel of Frank Lloyd Wright and the women in his life. Having brought to life eccentric cereal king John Harvey Kellogg in The Road to Wellville and sex researcher Alfred Kinsey in The Inner Circle, T.C. Boyle now turns his fictional sights on an even more colorful and outlandish character: Frank Lloyd Wright. Boyle's incomparable account of Wright's life is told through the experiences of the four women who loved him. There's the Montenegrin beauty Olgivanna Milanoff, the passionate Southern belle Maude Miriam Noel, the tragic Mamah Cheney, and his young first wife, Kitty Tobin. Blazing with his trademark wit and inventiveness, Boyle deftly captures these very different women and the creative life in all its complexity.

  • "From the Publisher: A dazzling novel of Frank Lloyd Wright, told from the point of view of the women in his life. Having brought to life eccentric cereal king John Harvey Kellogg in The Road to Wellville and sex researcher Alfred Kinsey in The Inner Circle, T.C. Boyle now turns his fictional sights on an even more colorful and outlandish character: Frank Lloyd Wright. Boyle's account of Wright's life, as told through the experiences of the four women who loved him, blazes with his trademark wit and invention. Wright's life was one long howling struggle against the bonds of convention, whether aesthetic, social, moral, or romantic. He never did what was expected and despite the overblown scandals surrounding his amours and very public divorces and the financial disarray that dogged him throughout his career, he never let anything get in the way of his larger-than-life appetites and visions. Wright's triumphs and defeats were always tied to the women he loved: the Montenegrin beauty Olgivanna Milanoff; the passionate Southern belle Maud Miriam Noel; the spirited Mamah Cheney, tragically killed; and his young first wife, Kitty Tobin. In The Women, T.C. Boyle's protean voice captures these very different women and, in doing so, creates a masterful ode to the creative life in all its complexity and grandeur."@en

  • "Het leven van de Amerikaanse architect Frank Lloyd Wright en de rol van vier vrouwen daarin in de periode 1910-1949."
  • "Er ist genial, er ist exzentrisch und er ist der berühmteste Architekt der USA - wenn nicht gar der Welt: Mit der überlebensgrossen Figur Frank Lloyd Wright erweitert T.C. Boyle seine Darstellung mythischer Amerikaner. Mitten in der Prärie hat Wright einen Traum verwirklicht: das Anwesen Taliesin. Hier lebt und arbeitet er mit seinen treuen Schülern und seinen geliebten Frauen: der aparten Tänzerin aus Montenegro, der exaltierten Morphinistin und - natürlich - Mrs. Wright. Sie alle führen erbitterte Kämpfe gegen ihre Nebenbuhlerinnen und gegen die bigotte amerikanische Gesellschaft. Boyles Geschichte des grossartigen Egomanen ist zugleich eine Kritik an der Prüderie der Amerikaner in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts."
  • "The Women, is a dark, riveting story of the life of one of America's most famous architects, Frank Lloyd Wright. Sharp, savage and subtle in equal measure, The Women plumbs the chaos, horrors and uncontainable passions of a fascinating American icon."
  • "En 1932, Tadashi Sato, un jeune Japonais étudiant en architecture, arrive dans une immense propriété perdue dans la campagne du Wisconsin. C'est là que réside le grand architecte Franck Lloyd Wright, auprès duquel Tadashi vient de se faire engager comme apprenti. L'étudiant découvre les moeurs d'une étrange communauté."
