Recent biographical projects––some still in progress––have greatly increased interest in Ayn Rand's early life. Drawing largely on material in the Ayn Rand Institute's recently created archives, Dr.Berliner provides new information and insights about the years prior to Miss Rand's arrival inAmerica. Sources include: letters from her family; photographic collections; official documents from her high-school, university, and post-graduate files; and a never-before revealed, 1995 interview with her youngest sister. The evening features slides and recordings of Ayn Rand's favorite music.
