Rand should have just saved the time she spent writing novels and just made a poorly xeroxed manifesto and stood on a street corner like a normal loon since all her novels are nothing but poorly disguised polemic.

Right? Like, having your characters just come out and explicitly state what that they are feeling, thinking and the literal message and theme of the book is bad writing even at the best of times, but to do it for 60 PAGES? Even if you agree with Rand’s morally bankrupt “philosophy” I cannot fathom why anybody likes this as a book.
