By John Dos Passos. And it's a collage with quotes from newsreels, cinema, and newspapers-a collage of history. That's where I get it all from. -- Adam Curtis (filmmaker). These three allied novels forming the trilogy, were written over a considerable span of years, so bringing them together as one is a definite contribution to the Dos Passos picture.

About this product

Product Information

In this brilliantly experimental trilogy, Dos Passos uses 'Camera Eye' and 'Newsreel' sections to create a fragmented yet naturalistic atmosphere. Through the testimony of numerous characters, both fictional and historical figures, he builds up a composite picture of American society in the first quarter of the twentieth century.Richly detailed and throbbing with vitality, U.S.A. vividly evokes that uncertain period when America, so full of ideals and potential, was slowly and painfully abandoning the Great American Dream.
