About this title

About the Author:

Lawyer-turned-novelist Erika Holzer, with her husband, was Ayn Rand's lawyer and helped recover and restore Rand's classic Italian-made film, "We the Living." Holzer is also the author of a human rights espionage novel, "Double Crossing," and the thriller "Eye for an Eye," which was a Paramount film starring Sally Field and which Nelson Demille dubbed "an American 'Clockwork Orange'." She also co-authored two non-fiction books, available on Amazon.

Review:

Humane, dramatic, humorous, touching, a tour de force! A significant contribution to Rand studies, intellectual history, and literary theory. -- Chris Matthew Sciabarra, Editor, "The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies"

I wish I were a creative writing professor; I would use this book as a text. Erika Holzer writes movingly. -- Mimi Gladstein, Professor of English

Part fascinating memoir, part how-to book, part anthology. I read Holzer's book in a single sitting. -- Jeff Riggenbach, literary critic
