Each of the novels is a complete work in itself, but the author's unique innovative storytelling devices, "The Newsreel" & "The Camera Eye", are numbered consecutively throughout the trilogy, & are presented in this SPLENDIDLY formated edition w/ remarkable CLARITY & FIDELITY to the author's intentions. With "1919", the second volume of his U.S.A. trilogy, John Dos Passos continues his "vigorous & sweeping panorama of 20th-century America" (Forum), lauded on publication of the first volume not only for its scope, but also for its groundbreaking style. Again, employing a host of experimental devices that would inspire a whole new generation of writers to follow, Dos Passos captures the many textures, flavors, & background noises of modern life w/ a cinematic touch & unparalleled nerve. "1919" opens to find America & the world at war, & Dos Passos' characters, many of whom we met in the first volume, are thrown into the snarl. We follow the daughter of a Chicago minister, a wide-eyed Texas girl, a young poet, a radical Jew, & we glimpse Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, & the Unknown Soldier. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Dos Passos, in full John Roderigo Dos Passos, (b. January 14, 1896, Chicago; d. September 28, 1970, Baltimore). After graduating from Harvard in 1916 he became one of the major & most innovative novelists of the post-World War I "lost generation". His reputation as a social historian & as a radical critic of the quality of American life rests primarily on his trilogy U.S.A.
