Strand Bookstore says…

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." Ayn Rand cultivated such an individualistic spirit throughout her career, one capped by her me-myself-and-reason school of philosophy, Objectivism. Anne C. Heller's evenhanded biography details the contentious icon's life and times from when she still went by Alissa Zinovievna Rosenbaum in Bolshevik Russia to her rise to world-renowned novelist. If your knowledge of Rand can be listed on a matchbook, come tonight as Heller steps up to the lectern.
