Yes, you got it, Miker. Sometimes authors like to challenge
themselves by writing against their instincts.

I take it you're not suggesting that no books
carry
the author's social assumptions, right? Just that
all
of them don't. It's obvious to me that quite a
few
books are a reflection of the author's way

thinking. And I would also agree that it's
entirely
possible that Ayn Rand could have written a

novel.
