Founded in 1999, the publishing arm of The New York Review of Books has reissued everything from ancient Chinese poems to a never-released Chekhov story collection to the literary sleeper “Stoner.”
The author, most recently, of “Between the World and Me” is a fan of the late E.L. Doctorow. “‘The Waterworks” is one of the most thrilling books I’ve ever read. And I still believe in that, you know? That stories should sometimes thrill people.”
This novel, written in 1934 and not published until now, features one of Rand’s Nietzschean characters, a pessimist alienated from a world she regards with disdain.
