Her first screenplay was sold to Universal: "Red Dawn" {hotlink to be done}. Her first play was a success on Broadway "The Night of January 16th" (1935-1936). Her dystopian novel "Anthem" (London: Cassell, 1938; paperback Signet 1961) bears much in common with "We" by Zamyatin, as a principled and passionate attack on conformism, anti-intellectualism, and Communism, and is certainly science fiction (science and technology are used as tools to liberate the individual against a srepressive super-State). "The Fountainhead" (1943) was filmed starring Gary Cooper {hotlink to be done} and focuses on an architect who would rather dynamite his own building than compromise on its design. "Atlas Shrugged" (New York: Random House, 1957) is also a utopian/dystopian science fiction novel, wherein a handful of Heinleinian competant men and women try to rescue a collapsing, immoral, dysfunctional near-future America by going on strike. Ayn Rand founded the philosophy of Objectivism, which is libertarian (but strongly opposed to the Libertarian party as such), and valorizes Capitalism, individualism, responsibility, intellect, and refusal to lower ones' self to the level of a mediocre society. Her work struck a chord with many science fiction fans, typically in their teenaged years, and is politically closer to the center of the science fiction community than most mainstream reviewers would believe. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++LEADERS & SUCCESS Novelist Ayn Rand: How She Became The Most Influential Writer In America Date: 6/25/98 Author: Charles Oliver Do you want happiness? Do you want to thrive? Then choose to think, said novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand. The decision to think is not only a person's most basic choice but also the most important aspect of his life, Rand (1906-1982) argued. Man ''can survive in only one of two ways - by the independent work of his own mind or as a parasite fed by the minds of others,'' said Rand, who was born in Russia but emigrated to the U.S. after the Bolsheviks took power. Her quest to promote independent thought infused her writings and political philosophy, and made her one of the most influential people of the 20th century. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, a friend of Rand's, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas may be the most prominent persons to cite Rand, but they aren't the only ones. A few years ago, Reader's Digest and the Library of Congress polled Americans on the books that had influenced them most. ''Atlas Shrugged,'' her novel about what happens to the world when creative people go on strike, was second only to the Bible. Publishers have sold more than 20 million copies of her books in the U.S., and are expected to sell 300,000 this year. Rand made rationality her highest virtue. For her, this meant that all of one's beliefs, goals and actions should evolve out of scrupulous thought. Rand began assessing the quality of her thinking as a teen-ager, studying whether her beliefs were built on a foundation of reason or on faulty premises. She developed for herself a method of rigorous analysis, which she called ''thinking in principles.'' It involved working backwards from belief to core assumption, and examining all the layers of thought in between. Her basic tool was the question: Why? Why did she believe something to be true? Because of underlying assumptions A, B and C. Why did she think A, B and C were reasonable? She'd keep digging until she'd satisfied herself that her root assumptions were rock solid. Another turning point came when she took a high school logic course. ''The first syllogism made an enormous impression on me. It was like a light bulb going off in my mind. The syllogism was 'All cats have tails; this is a cat; therefore, it has a tail.' '' At first she didn't quite get it. ''Then I grasped, as a revelation, that when you say 'all' you really must mean 'all.' ''I was converted to consistency from then on. It made me conscious of the importance of precision, and to what extent you have to use words precisely,'' she said. ''Ayn believed that what you cannot put into words, you cannot really understand,'' said Barbara Branden, an associate for almost 20 years and author of the biography ''The Passion of Ayn Rand.'' Branden says that Rand's insistence on properly defining her terms led to the writing of her novel ''The Fountainhead,'' which explores the differences between true individualists and those who lead what she called ''secondhand'' lives - lived in reaction to others. After she'd moved to America in her early 20s, Rand lived in an apartment house with another young woman. Like Rand, she was bright and ambitious. But Rand sensed a gulf between them. Seeking a clue, Rand asked her what her goal in life was. The girl answered: ''If nobody had an automobile, then I would want to have one automobile. If some people have one, then I want to have two.'' At the time, most would have dismissed the young woman as selfish. But Rand came to realize that was wrong. To be selfish, one must have a self, which Rand defined as that which thinks and forms its own values. The woman had no self to speak of. She lived as a counterpoint to others, as would the character Peter Keating, the counterpart to Howard Roark, the hero in ''The Fountainhead.'' Rand lived a life of the mind, but she took care to make sure that her ideas stayed tied to reality. When defining a concept for herself, she would visualize all of the real-world examples that she could. She advised her associates to do the same. Concrete matters, such as a ''table,'' were easy. But concepts such as ''justice'' or ''love'' were more difficult. ''She thought that you should be able to name dozens of real-world, concrete examples of the concepts you use,'' said philosopher Harry Binswanger, an associate for almost 20 years. She once told a group of aspiring writers that they should practice ''concretizing'' the concepts they use most frequently. ''Do that in idle moments on the bus, or while brushing your hair or teeth, or whenever your mind is unemployed,'' she said. Rand worked out her thoughts and ideas at length in journals. She wrote hundreds of pages of notes before starting to write a novel. Rand realized that ''unlike merely sitting and thinking about a subject, the process of writing forces you to clarify your thoughts and organize them,'' said David Harriman, the editor of ''Journals of Ayn Rand.''

American journalist/photographer/TV writer/PR writer who impressed this Webmaster years before moving to freeway-linked Los Angeles with a vision of future super-freeways in the Astounding stories "Code Three" (Feb 1963) and "Once a Cop" (May 1964), which were included in the novel "Code Three" [New York: Simon & Schuster, 1966; Berkley]. In my mind, these were connected to the General Motors exhibit at the 1962-63 New York World's Fair, where I evaded guards, slept overnight, and scooped sufficient money from fountains to dine luxuriently in ethnic resturants. The GM ride was past a scale model city with multi-level super-freeways. The World's Fair (and to a lesser extent, Expo-67 in Montreal) confirmed the futuristic vision of science fiction. But I digress. Rick Raphael also had a story collection "The Thirst Quenchers" (London: Gollancz, 1965) Mark Rascovich (1918-?)

Jean Ray was actually a pseudonym for Raymundus Johannes Maria de Kremer, and he also wrote under the pseudonym of John Flanders (in Flemish) and Jean Ray (in French). A civil servant of the City of Ghent, he became a journalist for Cinemablad, Journal de Gand, La Revue Belge, and De Dag, eventually promoted to Editor-in-Chief. His first fiction was published in 1919, his first book of stories ("Contes du whisky") in 1925. Enormously prolific, no complete bibliography has been possible to create for him. The so-called "Les Oeuvres completes de Jean Ray" [Paris, 1963-66] is actually a mere selection of his hundreds of stories and dozens of books. 16 volumes of his "Harry Dickson" stories (derivative of dime novels such as "Nick Carter") were edited by Jean-Baptiste Baronian, and published by the Belgian company Marabout. Marabout also published some of his other books, such as: * Les Derniers contes du Canterbury [1963] * Les Contes du golf [1964] * Le Livre des fantomes [1966] Frequently criticized for writing too fast, for repeating his plots, for an irrational tumult of irrational frights, he is nonetheless praised for the elasticity and depth of his imagination, his grotesque images, and the nightmare-logic atmospherics of his prose. The book most commonly cited as his masterpiece is "Malpertuis" [1943].

Now, Tielmark's Chancellor Heiratikus, himself of mixed Bissanty and Tielmaran ancestry, has conceived a plot to break the pact while fulfilling an ancient prophecy that would return this pastoral nation to Bissanty's iron-fisted rule. For his diabolical plan to succeed, he must rely on a forbidden ritual to create a bride of Glamour, forged from the blood and magic of twin sisters. Gaultry and her sister are the unknowing objects of this heinous plot. As she learns of her sister's imprisonment, Gaultry finds herself the linchpin upon which her nation's destiny will turn. Wielding powers she hardly suspects she possesses, a breathtaking adventure unfolds in a spectacular succession of magical revelations and heartrending turns of fortune. "Wind from a Foreign Sky" is the memorable start to a brilliant career. * A Tremor in the Bitter Earth (Book 2 of the Chronicles of Tielmark) [Forthcoming from Tor Books, Cover art by Romas Kukalis, April 1998] ISBN 0-312-86008-0 Jacket Copy: Katya Reimann, a finalist for the John W. Campbell Award for best new writer, returns to the enthralling, vivid world of "Wind from a Foreign Sky", once again sweeping us along with a deft tale of powerful magic, breathtaking adventure, and deep political intrigue. Gaultry Blas is a young woman with a knowledge of woods magic and a special bond to the glamour magic of the twin goddesses who bless the Principality of Tielmark. She has saved her land from subversion by the scheming agents of the Bissanty Empire, from which Tielmark has won a tenuous independence. As she, her twin sister Mervion, and the Tielmaran court convene to celebrate the most sacred of Tielmark's ceremonies--the renewal of the blood-bond between Prince Benet, the twin goddesses, and the land--the short lived peace is shattered by a horrifying betrayal crafted by the dark magic of Bissanty assassins. The assassins have already killed members of the Common Brood -- families whose blood has a prophetic tie to the Prince's throne. But these murders are a mere shadow of what is to come when Gaultry captures the young assassin, Tullier Sha Muira. Magically subduing Tullier, Gaultry bonds him with her glamour soul to prevent him from killing himself before he can reveal his Bissanty masters' secrets. When Martin Stalker, the dispossessed noble who once saved Gaultry's life, is lured away by the threat of violence to his estranged wife, it's up to Gaultry, with the help of the furious assassin Tullier in her precarious hold, to head deep into the heartlands of the bitter earth of Bissanty, seeking to save him, their loved ones, and her country.
