"Freiman is less interested in evangelizing self-reliance than in playfully dramatizing the triumphs and errors that attend a bootstrapping individual’s endeavors in self-help." Read @stephengadubato review of @LexiFreiman latest novel in COMPACT: compactmag.com/article/flush…

.@LexiFreiman joins @MedayaO and @EHNewman on this week's #LARBRadioHour to talk her new novel, "The Book of Ayn." A punchy satire of contemporary life, the story centers on Anna, a writer who takes a shine to Ayn Rand’s ideal of “rational selfishness.” lareviewofbooks.org/av/lexi-…

The creep novel, at its best, understands that each individual is a combination of watcher and watched—a revelation that still passes for a feminist statement. nyer.cm/vivDRPq

50 pages in and I can say that @stephengadubato & @RossBarkan are right. This is very good.

Reading @LexiFreiman’s The Book of Ayn and it is extremely good and funny. Highly recommend

“Lexi Freiman shitposts from the bottom of her heart.” Read @my19thcentury's review of @LexiFreiman's THE BOOK OF AYN (@CatapultStory) in the new issue of Bookforum: bit.ly/40LrwW9

My reading recommendation for today's @reason Roundtable will be The Book of Ayn, by @LexiFreiman. It's a 360-degree satire of the current woke moment in publishing, celebrity, and sexual politics, plus a great riff on #AynRand to boot (who was either the first girl boss or just bossy).
