But then what man hasn‘t...found himself deeply disillusioned with the distracted wife, the night alarums and the diaper pail, not to mention the expressive howls and systematic material destruction of the growing child.

The Women | T. C. Boyle

This novel about the complicated relationships of architect Frank Lloyd Wright with the women in his life is currently on sale-- I enjoyed reading it, though be prepared: Wright was NOT a nice human being. https://www.amazon.com/Women-Novel-T-C-Boyle-ebook/dp/B001P9W9P4

BarbaraBB I still have to read that one. Bought it after reading a book about the same subject,

Loving Frank: A Novel

BookishMarginalia @BarbaraBB I read both at around the same time, and enjoyed the contrasts in the way each author chose to rework and transform essentially the same source stories. 7y

raeintheworld I love this book! The way it moves backward through time, slowly revealing character and secrets—so great! 7y

GypsyKat I was in this play several years ago, it's a great story! 7y

This movie, The Women, the 1939 original, is just amazing! No men appear or speak in the movie, whatsoever! A must see 😊

#daywithoutawoman #internationalwomansday

Dragon I didn't like the recent remake very much. The original is still my favourite 👍 8y

CrowCAH @Dragon haven't seen the new one, but remakes often don't stand up to the original. 8y

I'm a bit late with my Book Spine Poetry for #24in48, but here it is - and it's even themed for today! (Ok, maybe it's more of a statement than a poem.) The best of the best, the women, unbroken, here comes trouble

MrBook And there you have it! Keep me in line, will you, everyone? I have to read a couple of things out of alphabetical order though since they're library books. @Reviewsbylola 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Eagerly looking forward to those two! 8y

MrBook 🙄 I forgot

Xanadu

Penny_LiteraryHoarders Nice!!! 8y

Donna_sBookMinute @MrBook -- My first question was if the books have to be read in alphabetical order. They do not. Read them in any order that suits you. I keep changing my mind about which one I'll read first. 8y

This fantastic book about the wives and loves of Frank Lloyd Wright is everything- erudite, funny, scathing and horrifying, all in perfect measure. A truly epic read. I cannot recommend it enough. #realliveperson (ok-was a real live person) #octphotochallenge

Reviewsbylola I read this after Loving Frank! Both are great. 8y

Gulfsidemusing Must read... it's been on my shelf for years! What am I waiting for?? 8y

CherylDeFranceschi @Lakesidemusing Do it! It's incredible! 8y

pick

This week, my #Recommendsday pick is The Women. This is the story of Frank Lloyd Wright's wives and loves. Brilliant, comic, electrifying and horrifying, it's 100% immersive. I was living in this book while I read it. Above, Mr. Boyle in his FLW home. Image from The Smithsonian.

Reviewsbylola I read this one after I read Loving Frank. FLW definitely lived an interesting life. 8y

Spiderfelt It was fantastic! What a fascinating person, creative genius, but ultimately broken husband/man/father. When my bookclub picked Nancy Houran's book about FLW, some of us read this as well. IMO, was much better.

Loving Frank: A Novel

CherylDeFranceschi @Reviewsbylola Indeed he did! 8y

CherylDeFranceschi @Spiderfelt I thought this was much more compelling. I was completely immersed in this one. I was also at Taliesin in Spring Green right when I was half way thru this. It made it so alive to me! 8y

MrBook A wife book for you, @BookBabe ! 😊 8y

ValerieAndBooks I read both Horan's and Boyle's versions and while I liked both, liked Boyle's better. Interesting how they both came out at the same time. 8y

Spiderfelt @CherylDeFranceschi how amazing to visit Taliesin while reading. The best I could do was check out coffee table books from my library. His work is brilliant. 8y

CherylDeFranceschi @Spiderfelt It was so fantastic! Spring Green is amazing. The House on the Rock (American Gods!) is there, too. But it really was eerie to be there whilst reading the denouement. 8y

CherylDeFranceschi @ValerieAndBooks Agreed! 8y
