Frank is described as an alcoholic in his later years by Barbara Branden, ThePassion of Ayn Rand, 272–73, 339, 366, 384, and Nathaniel Branden, My Years with AynRand, 330, but this claim has been vigorously disputed by James Valliant in The Passionof Ayn Rand’s Critics (Dallas, TX: Durban House, 2005), 141–47. The dispute boils downto the reliability of sources whom the Brandens cite as witnesses to Frank’s drinkinghabits. Firm diagnoses of the dead are always tenuous, but given Frank’s family history,the pressures he was under, and the testimony of observers, it is not unreasonableto conclude that Frank’s use of alcohol was, at the very least, unhealthy. Anne Hellerreaches a similar conclusion in Ayn Rand and the World She Made, 494.55. Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 939. Allan Gotthelf provides a helpful breakdown of thespeech in “Galt’s Speech in Five Sentences (and 40 Questions),” in Essays on Ayn Rand’sAtlas Shrugged, ed. Robert Mayhew (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2009).56. Biographical Interview 17.57. Journals, 480.58. After Atlas Shrugged was published Rand did write fragmentary notes for oneadditional novel, entitled To Lorne Dieterling. More a therapeutic exercise than a seriousattempt at another book, To Lorne Dieterling was to feature a female hero struggling toretain a sense of joy against a hostile world.

Rand’s account differs from Haydn’s in several specific details,mostly on how actively Random House sought her as an author. I draw primarily onRand’s account since it was recorded closer in time to the actual events and becauseRand was privy to negotiations with her agent and Haydn was not.61.

A prime example of areviewer having fun at Rand’s expense is Donald Malcolm, “The New Rand Atlas,” TheNew Yorker, October 26, 1957, 194. There were a few exceptions to the generally negativeassessment of Atlas Shrugged, mostly from right-leaning publications.
