As If She Hadn't Assaulted Us With Enough Terrible Literature Already
Even thought she's in the grave Ayn Rand can't help but assault us with more of her shitty literature:
IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - June 16, 2014) - The Ayn Rand Institute is excited to announce the new publication of a lost Ayn Rand novel. Ayn Rand's work Ideal, written in 1934, is scheduled for release by Penguin Random House in July of 2015 and will be paired with Rand's play of the same name into a single volume. The introduction will be written by Rand's designated heir, Leonard Peikoff.
"We are delighted to share this wonderful news," said ARI executive director Yaron Brook.
I guess somebody has to be delighted. On the upside it was written in 1934, so it predates Atlas Shrugged. That means it probably won't contain a three billion word monolog by Objectivist Jesus. On the downside it's written by Ayn Rand. That means it will have one dimensional characters, a boring story, and the pain that comes from being beaten over the head with Objectivism.
I'm sure there are a lot of libertarians who are already jerking themselves off to the idea of another Ayn Rand novel. Me, I prefer literature that is entertaining and doesn't try to preach a One True Religion to me.
