We are with her as she explores the questions of philosophy and builds the foundations of what will become the towering philosophy called Objectivism.

There is even advice to the director of the famous movie version of The Fountainhead, and elsewhere an intriguing aside on Rand's vision of the place of sex in the novel and in life. Including descriptions of the projects cut short by her death, Journals of Ayn Rand illuminates the mind and heart of an extraordinary woman as no autobiography or memoir ever could. On these vivid, fascinating pages, Ayn Rand lives.…
