AUTHOR: 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 an 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; he had introduced experimental stream-of-consciousness techniques. These ideas also coalesced into the U.S.A. trilogy, of which the first book appeared in 1930. SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, OVER 20 YEARS ON ABEBOOKS!. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2200
