 Blake
Although the Farnsworth house was exquisitely simple and beautiful as an abstract statement about structure, skin, and space, it was hardly a 'house for family living'.
The Farnsworth house was meant to be, and succeeded in being, a clear and somewhat abstract expression of an architectural ideal - the ultimate in skin-and-bones architecture, the ultimate in ' less is more ', the ultimate in objectivity and universality.
Wright's fundamental disagreement with skin-and-bones architecture was nothing new, and, in many respects, was valid indeed.

Editor Farnsworth Wright complained that “it is too little of a 'story'… It is rather a chronicle of a tribe, a picture of the evolution of a race.” The criticism is just, but for those seeking to understand Howard's conceptions of the Picts, it is a very important tale.

Long is primarily known as H. Lovecraft's best friend and protege.
He lived most of his life in Lovecraft's shadow, even though his work made the cut and was accepted by such finnicky and astute editors as John W. Campbell, Farnsworth Wright and Dashiell Hammett.
One can only wonder, and pose the question, "If it wasn't for authors such as Long, Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard, would the world have a Stephen King, Clive Barker or Dean Koontz today?" The answer, in my opinion, is a resolute "NO!"
