    Extractions: A satirist is a man whose flesh creeps so at the ugly and the savage and the incongruous aspects of society that he has to express them as brutally and nakedly as possible in order to get relief. Letters are largely written to get things out of your system. People don't choose their careers; they are engulfed by them. It was the ponderous battering ram of his novels that opened the way through the genteel reticences of American nineteenth-century fiction. . . Without [Theodore] Dreiser's treading out a path for naturalism none of us would have had a chance to publish.

    dos passos, john. The Best Written Book In Monteiro, George, ed. Critical Essays on Ernest Hemingway s A Farewell to Arms.  
    http://vccslitonline.cc.va.us/AFTA/dos_passos.htm
    
    Extractions: Dos Passos defined Hemingway's good writing as "terse and economical, in which each sentence and each phrase bears its maximum load of meaning, sense impressions, emotion" (89) He singles out these scenes the first chapter [often likened to an "overture," which announces or previews the major themes of a musical drama] the talk in the officers' mess in Gorizia the scene in the dressing station when the narrator is wounded the paragraph describing the ride to Milan in the hospital train the talked with the British major about how everybody's cooked in the war the whole description of the disaster of Caporetto to the end of the chapter where the battlepolice are shooting the officers as they cross the bridge the caesarian operation in which the girl dies (89) Dos Passos also praises the first half of the novel as fine history of that sector of World War I. He also notes that writers were generally growing in esteem and that the book business was thriving, noting "Even good books sell" (90). Finally, he praises the craftsmanship of this novel in an era of mass production.

    http://college.hmco.com/english/lauter/heath/4e/students/author_pages/modern/pas
    
    Extractions: Son of a famous Wall Street lawyer, John Dos Passos attended Choate, toured Europe, and went on to Harvard to become first an aesthete and then, gradually, something of a political rebel. In 1917, like many young men of his background, he went to France as a volunteer ambulance driver. Horrified by the war’s brutality, by the official lies, by the meaninglessness of the suffering he witnessed, he grew increasingly radical and further alienated from the world his father represented. In Three Soldiers, an attack on the army, he sought, through formal means, to break out of the narrow perspective of his own social class: this early novel is narrated in turn from the points of view of three different soldiers, one an artist and Harvard man, but the other two very much “average” soldiers.

Congresses Macromolecules Written by Townsend Ludington Daniel Aaron John R. Dos Passos Customer Reviews I love this book/trilogy. It's probably my favorite book I've read so far. I would recommend this book to people whom in the past were put off by older literature. This book, although set in the early 20th century, seems fresh and alive. You may have difficulty at first with some of the more experimental sections, like "The Camera Eye", but I wouldn't let that discourage myself from recommending this book. Those sections tend to be rather on the short side anyway. I wish Dos Passos was more thought of today than he is, because he's an excellent writer. I often couldn't believe how many pages I had read in a session, as I got lost in the book completely. Read this book! John Dos Passos wrote three novels that are encapsulated by the title: "USA." These novels are beautiful and sublime in their composition. While reading of some sad stories as well as some humorous ones, the readers is taken on a journey through the 1920's in America. We get a sense of what it was like then. His chapters begin and often end in a "NEWSREEL" imitation. In an age where we as readers have so much "bit" information flashed before our eyes, this mode works well at getting the snapshot ideas he is alluding to in the novels. Dos Passos is a genius of words I recommend taking this one to the beach, especially if you are an American city history buff.

    Extractions: Long heralded as a monumental portrait of American society in the early decades of the 20th century, John Dos Passos U.S.A. trilogy is, if nothing else, an amazing display of intellectual endurance. Few novels that I have come across are more ambitious or broader in scope. In 1240 pages, Dos Passos attempts to characterize a vast, growing nation in one of its most dynamic periods in history. While he gloriously succeeds as a sociological study, it is unfortunately at the expense of producing a mediocre work of literature. It is important to point out that while the three installments of this trilogy were written several years apart from each other, this is most definitely one book, not three. The first and second books, The 42nd Parallel and 1919, have no proper conclusion, and The Big Money, the trilogys final installment, is a logical progression in terms of style and chronology, if not plot. So reading any of these books on their own, or reading them all out of sequence, would be a thoroughly unsatisfying experience.

John Dos Passos is one of the most overtly political authors in this unit. Involved in many radical political movements, Dos Passos saw the expansion of consumer capitalism in the first decades of the twentieth century as a dangerous threat to the health of the nation. The son of unmarried Portuguese American parents, Dos Passos grew up in Chicago. He attended prestigious East Coast schools, first the Choate School and then Harvard University. He graduated from Harvard in 1916 and joined the war effort before the United States entered World War I, becoming a member of a volunteer ambulance corps and later serving in the American medical corps.

The men nearest the offender looked at him out of the corners of their eyes. Two officers, far out on the parade ground, were coming towards them. By their gestures and the way they walked, the men at attention could see that they were chatting about something that amused them. One of the officers laughed boyishly, turned away and walked slowly back across the parade ground. The other, who was the lieutenant, came towards them smiling. As he approached his company, the smile left his lips and he advanced his chin, walking with heavy precise steps. "Sergeant, you may dismiss the company." The lieutenant's voice was pitched in a hard staccato.

This is a discussion for more knowledgeable people than me. But what I really wasn't ready for in an article in Life Magazine six months after the end of World War II was a line such as this: "We have swept away Hitlerism, but a great many Europeans feel that the cure has been worse than the disease."
