I had to take the car in today and in the waiting room, my eye was caught by this article in the Wisconsin State Journal.
I had never heard of Mamah Borthwick, but there is an opera about her, as well as two novels, Loving Frank (2007) by Nancy Horan and The Women (2009) by T. C. Boyle And there's a nonfiction book, Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders by William R. Drennan.
I hope that the cemetery board will agree to permit the tombstone and undo, in however small a way, the century-long effect of Wright's breathtaking narcissism (check the last paragraph of the WSJ article). She has as much right as anyone else--certainly as much right as he does--to a memorial.
