TRTR Which one is not like the other one?

[Mark Kohut]

1955  The Recognitions...massive, character-filled novel savaging the
phoniness of Americans in their money-conscious society, because of
such money/success is all ethos.......

1957 Atlas Shrugged   ...Massive, cardboard character-filled novel savaging
the phoniness of American society because it would not admit that making
money is everything................
