Seller's Description:
Like New in Very Good jacket. Size: 6x1x9; The collection extends from 1910 to Dos Passos' death and contain the vivid personal and literary writing of a pre-eminent American writer whose journalism and fiction confronted social change in the United States and abroad. John Roderigo Dos Passos (1896-1970) was an American novelist, most notable for his U.S.A. trilogy. Considered one of the Lost Generation writers, Dos Passos published his first novel in 1920, One Man's Initiation: 1917, which was written in the trenches during World War I. It was followed by the antiwar novel, Three Soldiers, which brought him considerable recognition. His 1925 novel about life in New York City, titled Manhattan Transfer, was a commercial success, and introduced experimental stream-of-consciousness techniques. Those ideas also coalesced into the U.S.A. trilogy, of which the first book appeared in 1930.
