"Rafael Soriano" is a well-researched long-overdue contribution for students of mid-century modernism, especially in and around Los Angeles, California. Beyond the innovative work of the twin Viennese transplants, Richard Neutra, and Rudolf Schindler.

Of all the important pioneers of modern architecture in southern California, Soriano was one of the most inventive and idealistic, but least successful. If he hadn't won the attention of Julius Shulman--as a photographer and client--he would probably be forgotten, so few are the surviving traces of his modest mid-century output.

This is a thorough, comprehensive monograph on a talented, yet often forgotten modernist. The book competently chronicles Soriano's career and major projects.
