With his newest novel “The Women” set to come out Feb. 10, famed novelist T.Coraghessan Boyle is taking on a topic with some clear local interest — the famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
In his new book (front jacket show to the left), he focuses on Wright’s romances with three women that he loved and who might have inspired his work. Possibly, even the homes in Pleasantville on Usonia Road or the magnificent new cantilevered windowed home on an island in Lake Mahopac which was built based on plans Wright created for this exact Putnam County location.

Here is a photo of the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home in Mahopac shot July 31, 2007 by The Journal News’ photographer Joe Larese.
And it should go without mention, as well that Boyle was born in Peekskill in 1984. In previous interviews he has talked about growing up in this northern Westchester city and how his first job was working in a local clothing store, a job he was clearly not well suited to keep.
