She dreamed she was just waking out of a deep sleep. She climbed reluctantly out of bed and went to the long mirror to comb her hair. But in the mirror she saw Marion... How drastically Norah Faulkner's life had changed in the week since she had come to Cader Morb. Scarcely a few days before, she had arrived in the remote and untamed countryside of Wales eager to begin an assignment as assistant to the famous author Althea Syme. For Norah, the job had meant a chance to get away from a broken romance in London and lose herself in work. But slowly and insidiously, bizarre and sinister events began to take hold of Norah—things she knew nothing about, but that somehow seemed intimately to involve her... What lay behind the haunting resemblance that existed between Norah and Althea's niece, Marion, who had drowned mysteriously seven years before? And how did that likeness affect her relationship with Simon Syme, who had been completely shattered by his sister's death? Was Norah the one person who could forever put Marion's memory to rest? Somehow the answers were tied to a dark secret in the Symes' past—a secret that threatened to destroy anyone who dared to share it. Cader Morb—and the people in it—posed many questions for Norah Faulkner. Questions she had to resolve not only for the peace of her mind, but for the safety of her life...

"Performance uses the alphabet as an organizational device to present a series of short pieces that approach performance from multiple perspectives and various compositional strategies. Pelias's essays, poetry, dialogue, personal narratives, quick speculations, and other literary genres explore the key themes in this field, encapsulating the essence of performance studies for the novice and providing food for thought for the expert. Its brief, evocative, and reflexive pieces introduce performative writing as a method of research for those in performance and many other fields"--

This inspiring life-story by a towering figure of our era is an epic of genius in relation to the twentieth century. In these pages, Frank Lloyd Wright's personal revelations illumine an astonishing variety of experiences, opening with his life as a child with his Welsh forebears in the Midwest, his running away to plunge into the creative ferment of the Chicago of the Nineties, the beginning of one of the world's most productive careers, through his long dramatic life which culminated in his transforming influence on the modern world. His autobiography is a book of triumph over nearly incredible adversity. It is filled with memorable descriptions: of the young architect's apprentice with the pioneer Louis Sullivan; the fire which destroyed his renowned home, Taliesin, in the tragedy that took several lives, and his courageous re-building of his Imperial Hotel, in which he reveals why it rode out the disastrous 1923 earthquake in Tokyo, unharmed, while the city lay bout it in ruins; his romantic meeting with the woman whose devotion was to transform his life; the ordeals to which he and Olgivanna Lloyd Wright were early subjected and out of which they built a new life; the story of how they established the Taliesin Fellowship, the now renowned school of architecture to which students come from every part of the world; his friendships with Carl Sandburg, Alexander Woollcott, Lloyd Lewis, Ferdinand Schevill, among his others; his journeys to Japan and Russia; his creation of building after building-low cost houses, skyscrapers, churches, celebrated dwellings such as Hollyhock House, La Miniatura, Fallingwater, the Jacobs House (cost $5,500, including the architect's fee in 1936), etc.-which revolutionized the architecture of our century. During what he called "a very bad time in my life" Mrs. Wright urged him to begin work on his life-story and encouraged him through the years to complete it; and it is to her that he dedicated this final, definitive edition. Shortly after the preceding version of his autobiography appeared thirty-five years ago, Frank Lloyd Wright began to revise it, adding material over a period of sixteen years. This is the first edition of the corrected manuscript. Besides all his revisions of the earlier (and unillustrated) version, this new edition includes eighty-two illustrations, photographs of his family and of the people involved in his life, as well as his architectural masterpieces produced over a span of seventy years (including houses built as recently as 1976). This volume consists of six books, of which Book Six, titled BROADACRE CITY, comprises one of the most important additions to this comprehensive edition: the master's concepts of the future city and government-a major presentation of his ideas, prophecies being increasingly borne out in our time and destined to have an enduring influence in the future. Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography is an incomparable book, a frankly revealing and uncompromising personal achievement to stand with his great buildings.
