Join Queens Libertarians (in its topical event for LPQC) on August 10 at noon, to hear author and NYC tour guide Fred Cookinham speak on “The Journey of Dagny Taggart: A Commentary on Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.” Discussion will be held at Tu Casa Spanish/Peruvian Restaurant, 119-05 Metropolitan Ave in Kew Gardens. (Note: LPQC has moved from the Donovan’s Pub venue due to disagreements.) This address will follow its monthly business session, covering Queens LP planning and subcommittee updates.
Cookinham’s new book is a study guide to Rand’s magnum opus, and he states “I will explain how to use my book, why I wrote it, as well as my Ayn Rand-themed walking tours, and Rand’s place in libertarian thought.” According to one review, “Frederick Cookinham provides readers with many provocative insights and informative details in this line-by-line interpretive analysis of Atlas Shrugged. This Herculean effort is a worthy companion to Ayn Rand’s magnum opus.” -Chris Matthew Sciabarra, author, Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical; founding co-editor, The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies Details and Directions
