The Art of Fiction | Using Ayn Rand's Ideas to become a Good Storyteller
What are the foundational rules of storytelling and can Ayn Rand's philosophy serve as an inspiration to fiction authors? Henrik Knightingale, who just released his first play, is an objectivist with a keen interest for the work of Ayn Rand. He sits down with Jan-Ove Tuv and Carl Korsnes to discuss her ideas about literature and reveals how he went from being a modernist to a writer with structure and a clear goal in mind.
Henrik Knightingale's debut play "In His Own Shadow" is now available on Amazon:
