Praise for From Bauhaus to Our House

"A search-and-destroy mission against architectural pretensions . . . a funny book."--New York
 
"Full of insight . . . marvelously right."--People
 
"Wolfe's delightfully witty, biting history of modern architecture is a scintillating high comedy of big money, manners, and massive manipulation of public taste."--Publishers Weekly
 
"No wonder . . . this book is the hottest topic in Manhattan's architectural salons."--The New York Times Book Review

"Tom Wolfe has squeezed a funny tale out of glass and stone. . . hilarious."--The Wall Street Journal

"Sharp serpent's-tooth wit, useful cultural insight, and snazzy zip! pop! writing."--Playboy
