A remarkable series of lectures on the art of creating
effective nonfiction by one of the 20th century's most
profound writers and thinkers-now available for the first
time in print.
Culled from sixteen informal lectures
Ayn Rand delivered to a select audience in the late 1960s,
this remarkable work offers indispensable guidance to the
aspiring writer of nonfiction while providing readers with a
fascinating discourse on art and creation. Based on the
concept that the ability to create quality nonfiction is a
skill that can be learned like any other, The Art of
Nonfiction takes readers through the writing process,
step-by-step, providing insightful observations and
invaluable techniques along the way.
In these edited
transcripts, Rand discusses the psychological aspects of
writing, and the different roles played by the conscious and
subconscious mind. From choosing a subject to polishing a
draft to mastering an individual writing style-for authors
of theoretical works or those leaning toward journalistic
reporting-this crucial resource introduces the words and
ideas of one of our most enduring authors to a new generation.
