summary
Since its 1925 publication, Manhattan Transfer has been widely recognized as a landmark in American modernism both for its jaundiced portrayal of the American Dream and for its experimentation with the novel form. Clear, factual annotations by the world’s leading expert on Dos Passos’s fiction guides readers through the novel’s dense representation of life in New York City in the roaring twenties.
