INTERVIEWS AND NOTICES
REASON 36, no. 10 (March 2005): 22-29.
Loved, hated, and always controversial, the best-selling author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged is more relevant than ever.
Cathy Young
In this reflection on the Ayn Rand Centenary, Young mentions Sciabarra's work: "In recent years, at last, some analysis of Rand has appeared that is neither uncritical adulation nor unrelenting bashing. Some of it has come from unorthodox neo-Objectivists, such as the feminist scholar Mimi Gladstein or the political philosopher Chris Matthew Sciabarra. (The two edited the 1999 book Feminist Interpretations of Ayn Rand, and Sciabarra wrote [1995's] controversial Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical.) The five-year-old Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, co-founded by Sciabarra, often features essays by mainstream intellectuals that treat Rand's legacy in a non-hagiographic way."
Reason magazine also published Sciabarra's review of Letters of Ayn Rand ("Rand the Living") in its November 1995 issue.
