Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, pen name Ayn Rand, was a Russian born American author. She's been quite influential in the american lolbertarian movement and is kind of a Patron Saint for many rightoids. And is not only limited to the US, I've seen many Ayn Rand books in sale in Brazilian Bookstores, they have translations of all of her works from Atlas Shrugged to her essays like “The Virtue of Selfishness”.
Rand was never considered a good writer, dramacels, what do you guys think of this lady?

Her actual "prose" isn't that great, but considering she is ESL It's ok.
I Like the fountainhead
my favorite part about reading her is being able easily spot the people who hate her just because it's popular to hate on her.
I also think it's weird because I think a lot of LGBT people would actually like the fountainhead's message of "frick every other person and be yourself no matter what (also do what you want)"
