Tore Boeckmann was recently interviewed for EdNews on the creativity of Ayn Rand. The interview is short, but worth a read.
I should also mention that Tore Boeckmann’s essay “Anthem as a Psychological Fantasy” in Robert Mayhew’s anthology Essays on Ayn Rand’s Anthem was one of the very bright highlights of that book. The essays in that volume are of consistently high quality, but the essays by Tore Boeckmann, Onkar Ghate (“Breaking the Metaphysical Chains of Dictatorship: Free Will and Determinism in Anthem”), and Greg Salmieri (“Prometheus’ Discovery: Individualism and the Meaning of the Concept ‘I’ in Anthem”) were way beyond stellar. I highly recommend reading them, if you haven’t already.
