The Art of Fiction

In this audiobook, edited transcripts of Ayn Rand's informal writing courses from 1958 and 1969 offer an insightful blend of philosophical discourse and practical guidance for aspiring writers. Rand explores how to harmonize abstract ideas with concrete action and description to create unity in theme, plot, characterization, and style. The audiobook also features her analyses of well-known literary passages, rewrites of her own work, and effective strategies for crafting compelling characters and dramatic plots.
