For those uninterested in taking a look at my review of Atlas Shrugged, and why this is so brief, just know this; no one likes it when you talk about the Fountainhead except other sociopaths who love the Fountainhead. I will accept the accusation of being a philistine — but would argue that Rand errs on the side of poor writing regardless — but the espousal of her, frankly, ill-formed, unnuanced, and entirely unempathetic philosophies make for an uninteresting, uninspired, and unpleasant novel. This should have been cut down to an enumerated manifesto for selfishness, and then stuffed away in a basement somewhere, never to be found again. Why this receives any praise is beyond me. ( ![]() I picked this up from a LFL on a lark, and ye gods... This is where the dreaded "randbots" came from? This...?!? Infamously influential turgid crap -I couldn't get past the first two sentences. (TBF the 1949 film with Gary Cooper and Patricia O'Neil is a hoot!) As much as everyone seems to hate Rand nowadays, I think she's a great storyteller. I love the characters in this and couldn't put it down. I did not like this one nearly as much as Atlas Shrugged. There's some adolescent appeal to Howard Rourke, but the prose is wooden, the social critique is flat, and the rape-fantasy relationship is horrific.
[Miss Rand] has written a hymn in praise of the individual and has said things worth saying in these days. Whether her antithesis between altruism and selfishness is logically correct or not, she has written a powerful indictment.
