Overview
With a foreword by Tom Wolfe, this is a stunning work on Casa Malaparte, one of the world's most famous and controversial houses -- admired, imitated, and celebrated for over fifty years.Beautiful yet enigmatic, Casa Malaparte has stood for nearly 50 years atop a limestone cliff on the Isle of Capri. The vision of its singular architectural form against the breathtaking backdrop of the Mediterranean has been likened to "the sudden recovery of a lost dream." Built between the years 1938-40 by Curzio Malaparte, a controversial and strongly political Italian novelist, playwright, and filmmaker, Casa Malaparte is a timeless reminder of one man's vision -- visually arresting and stylistically uncategorizable (much like this book).With a foreword by Tom Wolfe, Malaparte: A House Like Me is organized and edited by noted architect, designer, and writer Michael McDonough, and brings together the combined efforts of artists, historians, architects, and writers to unlock the meanings and mysteries behind Casa Malaparte. Provocative essays, sketches, and speculative projects by, among others, Phillip Lopate, Robert Venturi, Carla Fendi, Kar
