So...I think the NPR story I heard about the book may have mentioned the narrator is not one of "the women" (or F.L.W. himself)--but I'd forgotten that fact by the time I opened to the first chapter the other day (I'm behind, because I paused to quickly get my heroin-twilight fix by zipping through the third in that series--just a little slumming before I return to serious literature).
Anyhow...so the narrator. Japanese student with MIT architecture background and expensive tastes (and big bank account). Still deciding if I "like" him (whatever that means)...or like him as a narrator. But I'm just pages in, so it's premature to decide anything.
He drives to take part in FLW's Taliesin Fellowship (click photo to check out Taliesin Preservation site)...which is a nice way to bring the reader over the meadow and through the woods, to Frank Lloyd Wright's world we go...
Any thoughts about the opening pages?
