From Ayn Rand at 100:
A hundred years after her birth and nearly 25 years after her death, Ayn Rand remains a fascinating and enigmatic presence. She has been “mainstreamed” enough to have been honored by a U.S. Postal Service stamp in 1999 and to have been featured on C-SPAN’s American Writers series in 2002. Her novels figure prominently in readers’ lists of the 20th century’s greatest books. Notably, in a 1991 survey of more than 2,000 Book-of-the-Month Club members about books that made a difference in their lives, Rand’s magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged, came in second — albeit a very distant second — to the Bible. Rand, a devout atheist, might have seen that as an insult rather than an honor.
How did I not hear about the oh-so-ironic USPS Ayn Rand stamp?
