14 – Ayn Rand's 'The Fountainhead' – 2 of 2
The second part of your discussion of Ayn Rand's extremely long fantasy about the 'ideal man' and the buildings he makes. The book gets weirder and more political as it goes on, and we meet Rand's Mary-Sue character, the long-suffering helmet-haired ice princess Dominique Francon.
All these things make the book worse.
Features music by Chris Zabriskie –
'Heliograph' from the album 'Divider', 'We always thought the future would be kind of fun' from the album 'The Dark Glow of Mountains' and 'Cylinder 3' from the album 'Cylinders'.
and by MMFFF –
'Meeting the Demon' from the album 'The Dance of the Sky'
