We the Living is not about Soviet Russia in 1925--it's a novel about any dictatorship, anywhere, and hopefully it will prevent one in the United States. The theme of We The Living is man against the state. Ayn Rand had done a wonderful job in making Andrei as noble and heroic as possible. We The Living is badly needed at presents, says Robert Mayhew, in an interview with Scott Holleran. |
