The essence of America is individualism. Therefore, the "great American novel" necessarily focuses on this theme. No novel has ever done this as brilliantly as Ayn Rand's epic, "The Fountainhead." It features one of the great heroes in world literature--Howard Roark; the most complex heroine--Dominique Francon; the most nefarious villain--Ellsworth Toohey; one of the great tragic figures--Gail Wynand; and a superb foil--Peter Keating. From these characters, Rand builds a sizzling conflict that perfectly dramatizes a profoundly life-giving theme: Individualism versus collectivism, not in politics but in men's souls. Join us on "Truth in Culture and Politics" when we discuss this superlative work of literary art.
