It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand is a satirical memoir by libertarian political activist Jerome Tuccille. It was first published by Stein and Day in 1971. The title refers to novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand, whose work introduced Tuccille and other activists to libertarian ideas.[1]

In a review of the literature about Rand, literary scholar Mimi Reisel Gladstein complimented Tuccille for his humor, especially in his satire of Rand's followers in the Objectivist movement. However, she noted that most of the book is not about Rand and instead focuses on other areas of "right-wing politics".[2] Roy Childs reviewed the book in Reason.[3] Martin Morse Wooster did a retrospective on it in The American Enterprise.[4]
