Meryle Secrest does a fantastic job of drawing you into the story of this gentlemans life. She provides a wonderful family background and traces those influences through his life so it gives you a deeper understanding. I thought she did a fantastic job of portraying his greatness, his intelligence, humor and talents in addition to those traits and faults that make us human. This is a chance to read a unique story of aging and creativity against a backdrop of changing architectural style.
