Letters of Ayn Rand

« Chapter 10

The Later Years

(1960-1981)

This material (apart from new letters) was originally Chapter Eight of the Letters of Ayn Rand book. It contains three new letters.

One letter, Ayn Rand’s response to a Catholic priest, has been omitted from this online version in order to preserve the recipient’s requested anonymity. The anonymized transcript may be found in the book.
