Robert Mayhew is associate professor of philosophy at Seton Hall University. He is the author of several books and the editor of The Art of Nonfiction: A Guide for Writers and Readers, by Ayn Rand (2001).
This is a truly engaging collection of essays that provide valuable
philosophic and literary insight—as well as fascinating details
about the publishing history and the music—of Ayn Rand's first full
novel, We the Living.

A study of this kind is long overdue. Robert Mayhew has
demonstrated an impressive vision in assembling a collection of
this kind. One learns fascinating details about Ayn Rand’s life,
her extraordinary care with her craft, and the critical reception
of her first novel. Mayhew also sheds important light on her
philosophy as it developed in the 1930s and beyond.
