Objectivist House Hunters

For your reading pleasure over at McSweeney’s, Ayn Rand as a real estate agent in Objectivist House Hunters. A snippet:

NARRATOR: House 3 is a tiny house, recently built. At 425 square feet, it’s a tight squeeze, but the low asking price would let Jack and Rachel have more money for travel.

AYN: This house is absurdly small, and its aesthetic is an offense to decency. You asked me to bring you here: as your agent, I complied.

RACHEL: Sometimes I just want to simplify my life, you know? This house might be perfect for that.

JACK: I’m not sure we need a bigger space to store more stuff.

AYN: Run for your life from any man who tells you that possessions are evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of the approaching looter.
