I don’t know what Ayn Rand was like, but somehow I imagine her to be something like Ann Coulter.
I don’t want to come off like I’m overly harsh on Ayn Rand. She made some enormous contributions with her works.
There is a movie about her which accurately captures her persona. But she is not the type of person you would want to be married.
One interesting thing that Whittaker Chambers pointed out in his review of Ms. Rand’s books and characters: There are never any children in them. Ms. Rand and Frank O’Connor never had any children. I wonder what she had against children.
Then of course Ms. Rand concocted her very own philosophy in which she could rationalize her perfectly outrageous affair with Nathaniel Brandon. Kinda convenient when you don’t have to answer to a Higher Power and you can invent your own philosophy and morality, huh?
Difference between Ann Coulter and Ayn Rand. Coulter believes in God. Rand believed in (super) man.
