The book was described as funny and searing, and it follows a character who gets canceled and finds solace in the writings of Ayn Rand. The author explained that she was drawn to the idea of satirizing Ayn Rand because she saw her as the worst person to write about, and her ideas are provocative and difficult. She also mentioned Ayn Rand's "crazy sex life" and how her polyamorous relationships ultimately destroyed her, undermining her philosophy of selfishness.
I love this book. This book is so funny and searing.

I love this book. This book is so funny and searing.
I mean, to me, she was, you know, basically the worst person I could write a book about, which really appealed to me.
But she also just had like a crazy sex life, which I found, you know, she was essentially in an open relationship at the end of her, you know, in her 60s. She was having an affair with like a man 25 years younger than her. So like Ayn Rand was basically a polyamorous. Like she had a polycule, which I think people sort of like don't know about her.
I think your book sort of looks at what it means to be selfish. It sort of examines narcissism. Like what to you is interesting about the idea of narcissism?
The Book of Ayn is available now.

Lexi Freeman's book follows a character who gets canceled and turns to the writings of Ayn Rand for guidance. The book satirizes the culture of narcissism and explores the complex relationship between selfishness and altruism.
I love this book. This book is so funny and searing.
I had always considered her the gateway drug for bad husbands to quit their jobs and start online stock trading.
She's so contentious within the culture but I had recently watched a documentary about her when I started thinking about this and to be honest, I mean, her ideas are provocative and difficult but she also just had like a crazy sex life which I found, you know, she was essentially in an open relationship at the end of her, you know, in her 60s. She was having an affair with like a man 25 years younger than her.
I'm always, in a sense, trying to cancel myself as I'm writing.
I edit the crap out of my books.
