Have you ever considered that, maybe, just maybe, Ayn Rand's novels were truly great literature?
Oh. But of course you haven't.
Never mind.
I've read the first two chapters from The Fountainhead and found it pretty stiff. There are so many advocates for every far flung cause amongst literary scholars these days you would think at least one of them would start making a case for Rand's fiction. But even her staunchest fans seem to mainly stick to her non fiction.
