Ayn rand wrote above average fiction.

And she wrote it in her second language.

She was a below average philosopher.

Her ideas were at least interesting, if flawed.

Depending on your politics, you might say she was at least on the right track.

If you come at it from the other way, you might say she was wrong but was an interesting character.

Anyone who loves her or hates her is a moron who fell for the memes.

The fountainhead and atlus shrugged are worth reading if you're american, because she's culturally important.

Sorry guys, I fell asleep.

The Harry Ransom Center has a ton of shit digitized, but unfortunately the Pynchon letters are not.

His literary agent and her husband (whose names escape me)

Sure, I'll go ahead and post the rest of what I have.

Quick Disclaimer: Most of these pictures do not relate to Pynchon's self-doubt. a few are about Borges, one kinda outlines the catalyst (or one of the catalysts) of his institutional paranoia, a couple are Feghoot puns which he used to sign off his letters and which I thought were funny. I hope you guys find them interesting too.

(Also, they will still be sideways and huge. Sorry)
