A newly published resource taken from a famous lecture
course given by Ayn Rand
In 1958, Ayn Rand, already
the world-famous author of such bestselling books as
Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, gave a
private series of extemporaneous lectures in her own living
room on the art of fiction. Tore Boeckmann and Leonard
Peikoff for the first time now bring readers the edited
transcript of these exciting personal statements. The Art
of Fiction offers invaluable lessons, in which Rand
analyzes the four essential elements of fiction: theme,
plot, characterization, and style. She demonstrates her
ideas by dissecting her best-known works, as well as those
of other famous authors, such as Thomas Wolfe, Sinclair
Lewis, and Victor Hugo. An historic accomplishment, this
compendium will be a unique and fascinating resource for
both writers and readers of fiction.
