If it's based on Ayn Rand, whom I loathe, it's still an offensively sexist critique of the woman, not her inane ideas.  The name, Mafia, suggests a discomfort with the entrenched clubbiness of the NY writers' scene (which could be characterized as a Jewish mafia), that might have left Young P feeling resentful and excluded.
Still, he takes some cheap shots here, and it doesn't make for a fun
or interesting or entertaining read.

I love it. A young P takes a shot at Rand and the Long Island Jewish
Mafia of 5-Towns & the Publishing Crew & Co.

You GO boy.   Sexist? She's a rose for Emily. And she uses the N-word
with anger. She's a racist. And a woman.
