The Fountainhead tells the tale of Howard Roark, the extremely uncompromising young architect of Dominique Francon, an exquisitely beautiful woman who marries his worst enemy despite loving Howard passionately and of the society who tries to bring him down. Reader, it’s The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand – a novel that I see the timelessness of even though it’s not for me. Now, one might ask, “Emily, what is this book in question?” Today’s subject was a challenge because it came with plenty of baggage, and it still has a following even in the nearly eighty years since its publication in 1943. ![]() This has helped me tremendously to see the many facets of the novel in question and to be as neutral as possible. Ever since I reviewed Rain is Not My Indian Nameby Cynthia Leitich Smith, I’ve been lowering my expectations when going into a new book. ![]()
