The Tender Detail delves into a captivating narrative that explores themes of repression, sentimentality, sexuality, and ornamentation in architecture. At its core, the book revolves around the lives and careers of two influential architects and designers, Louis H. Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. Through meticulous close readings of their buildings and writings, coupled with broad discussions spanning architecture, sexuality, gender, and philosophy, the book uncovers the intricate ways in which these two men grappled with the challenge of ornamentation.

The Tender Detail is a captivating and rigorous architectural history that offers new insights into the relationship between Sullivan and Wright, their work, and the nature of ornament itself. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of architecture, design, and the profound impact of human emotions on the built environment.
