Title: The Essential Rand
Review: While writing We the Living, Ayn Rand was still mastering the nuances of the English language after her emigration to America. It doesn't matter; she hits a literary homerunanyway. This is the essential Rand, antiticipating the brilliance of the Fountainhead and utilizing subtlety I wish she had exercised in Atlas Shrugged. You'll be carried away by Rand's protagonist, Kira, a hero in the classic sense of the word. At the same time, you'll be devastated by Rand's all too accurate description of the drudgery and misery of post-revolutionary Russia.
