Variations on a Dominant Design Concept: Scenes from Changeling

Abstract

David Ashford's ‘Variations on a Design Concept’ is extracted from a forthcoming experimental novella, Changeling. Its starting point is the the murders that occurred in August 1914 in Taliesin, the Wisconsin home of Frank Lloyd Wright, before it flows into other historical, trans-generational and contemporary frameworks of reference, stretching from mythology to the Cold War and Brexit.
