The reason for the ideological hostility to the work is that Rand caricatured liberal platitudes and postures brilliantly - arguably the most potent thing about the book. Say what you will about it as a novel, and I've plenty to say and not all of it complimentary, her villains are drawn so perfectly it's almost painful to read them and a newspaper too close together.
And yes, a Streets Of Fire set would be perfect. An underrated flick, IMHO.
” her villains are drawn so perfectly it’s almost painful to read them and a newspaper too close together.”
That’s what I’m enjoying most about the book.
She sure nails down the liberal shtick solid doesn’t she?
