Description

In 1958, Ayn Rand, currently the planet-well-known writer of such best-selling books as Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, offered a personal number of extemporaneous classes in her very own family room about the craft of fiction. Tore Boeckmann and Leonard Peikoff for the very first time today provide visitors the edited log of those thrilling individual claims. The-Art of Fiction provides priceless instructions, by which Rand evaluates the four important aspects of fiction: theme, design, characterization, and plot. She shows her suggestions by dissecting her best known works, in addition to those of other well-known writers, such as for instance Thomas Wolfe, Sinclair Lewis, and Victor Hugo.
