     [ "The Fountainhead" ]

    1: Novel by Ayn Rand (published in 1943) centering on the struggles of a young architect named Howard Roark. It presents the idea that man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress. The novel celebrates reason, individualism, productivity, and creativity. It is criticized for its presentation of largely black-and-white characters, and an undercurrent of sadomasochism in Roark's relationship with Dominque Francon (who serves as both an adversary and a love interest). Many who dislike the book despise Rand's philosophical system, Objectivism, or are simply too damn lazy to read a 700-page novel.

      * e.g.,  ... "What's up with Maria? She's talking about 'collectivism of the soul'." 

     [ "Fountainhead it" ]

      * e.g.,  ... "Is that Dante's Infernoyou're reading? While very good, it's an extremely difficult read... you should just Fountainhead it."
