"By 1930 Fuller was also a topic of interest, almost as intriguing as his unconventional Dymaxion House. His background and family history began to be used as important components of the story."
-- Becoming Bucky Fuller by Loretta Lorance, MIT Press 2009, p. 205

Fuller was accustomed to being an object of interest; his family's social events were listed in the major newspapers of the time. However, as Lorance details in the book Becoming Bucky Fuller, it is not the high social status of his family that Fuller highlights in the story he curates about himself. Instead, it is a tale of hardship, recovery from crisis, and selflessness.
