Wolfe blasts modern music and art in a few passages, but concentrates the bulk of the book on architecture. It took me a couple of days to read it, but that was with interruptions and was really only a few hours if you put all my reading time together. According to the copyright page, most of the book was published in Harper’s during the June and July issues, so you can see it’s not a long tome. Published in 1981, this is not a scholarly work, but it’s a passionate rejection of Modernist architecture and its practitioners. I recently read–finally, way after I should have–Tom Wolfe’s From Bauhaus to Our House. From Bauhaus To Our House Tom Wolfe – Farrar Straus Giroux – 1981
