![]() ![]() Thinking back on the book, I enjoyed the narrative, but the dialogues are really what made it stand out. Roark is the prototypical hero in this philosophy, though if you read some of the things Roark does, you may bristle at the thought of holding him up as an example to be emulated. Rand unapologetically uses the story to advance her life philosophy, called Objectivism. Roark’s self-described worldview is “egotism,” and it’s this selfish, individualistic attitude that the rest of the world can’t seem to stand, save a few of his close friends. Roark is a non-conformist who finds himself at odds with the rest of his profession because of his refusal to compromise his artistic expression for the sake of tradition. ![]() For those who haven’t read it, The Fountainhead is a story about a young architect named Howard Roark. I recently picked up Ayn Rand’s 1943 novel The Fountainhead, and I must say I quite enjoyed it. ![]()
