Scope and Content

Though Langley's letter to Merton is missing, we have Merton's response to a question Max Langley posed about Ayn Rand. Merton writes of Ayn Rand: "[S]he is extremely boring, immature, neurotic, and her view of man is something profoundly stupid, crass, spiritless, gesticulating, false." He compares her thinking to Nazism and to another book he is reading but dislikes, African Genesis.
