Description

 							At that time, Rand and her work weren’t in the news, as they are now. Once I had finished Atlas Shrugged
for the second time, I looked around to see what had been written about her. Later, I learned that the novels were still
selling in the hundreds of thousands of copies every year and that she was influential among libertarians and certain
conservatives; yet no full-scale, impartial biography of this extraordinary woman had been written. Only former
disciples and detractors had published books about her. The time seemed right to take a fresh approach.
  
 
Question: Do you think your experience with her work, philosophy, and life was different from those who read her
in their adolescence?
  
  Anne C. Heller: Yes. I appreciated Rand’s insights into the nature of power
and her spectacular ability to integrate plot, character, and theme more than I might have when younger. And, I was less
susceptible to her romantic celebration of heroic achievement.
  
  Question: Ayn Rand and the World
She Made is the first objective, investigative biography of Ayn Rand. What new sources did you use for your research?
Did you travel for your research?
  
  
  
  I traveled all over the United States to work in
relevant archives and to conduct interviews with her former friends and followers, many now in their eighties and
nineties, who spoke surprisingly candidly about her capacity for cruelty as well as her genius and personal magnetism. I
had three lengthy interviews with her long-time lover, Nathaniel Branden, now eighty, and spoke with most members of
what used to be called the "inner circle" of her cult following. I also had access to interviews with her elderly
Russian sister and with close friends from the 1920s and 1930s, all now deceased.
  
  Question: What
surprised you most?
  
  Anne C. Heller: I was surprised by many things--by how deeply her hostility to
liberal social programs was rooted in her Russian childhood, by her remarkable insight into the psychology of envy and
mediocrity, by her personal courage, and by her unfailing ability to spot a flaw in any opposing argument. I was also
surprised to discover that many of her former followers, though personally damaged by her temper and her moral
absolutism, remembered her as the most important and beneficent person in their lives. They had been wounded by her and
yet loved her and were protective of her memory and legend.
  
  Question: Why does Rand remain a
bestseller?
  
  Anne C. Heller: She certainly does remain popular. In a 1991 poll, sponsored by the Library
of Congress and the Book of the Month Club, Americans named Atlas Shrugged the book that had most influenced their lives
after the Bible. In a separate 1998 poll by Modern Library, readers chose Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead as number
one and two on a list of the one hundred greatest novels of the twentieth century, and Rand’s other two
novels,
  
  Like Holden Caulfield and Huckleberry Finn, Rand’s fictional heroes strike each new
generation as timelessly American in their self-reliance and revolt against timidity and conformity. And her passionate,
brainy arguments on behalf of limited government and unfettered individual rights strike a strong chord, especially in
times of economic trouble and increased government activism.
  
  
  
  From Publishers Weekly

 
  Alissa Zinovievna Rosenbaum was born to Jewish parents in 1905 Russia. Ayn Rand left Russia in 1926 for America
and founded her anticollectivist philosophy, Objectivism, a philosophy of free market capitalism and the pursuit of
self-interest as a moral good. Depressive, pill-taking, chain-smoking and manipulative, Rand's life was defined by a
longtime Sunset Boulevard–like affair with Nathaniel Branden, who went on to start the self-esteem movement. At
the same time, the combustible Rand was married to a passive man with matinee-idol looks. Magazine editor and journalist
Heller competently describes Rand's feuds with William F. Buckley and with her sister, who had remained in the U.S.S.R.,
and the more courtly relationship Rand had with publisher Bennett Cerf. This objective account of the Objectivist Rand
will interest her still large and devoted readership.
