General Information
Bio
(1896-1970) Novelist. John Dos Passos lived at 3 Washington Square, Greenwich Village, New York, New York. Dos Passos’ novelistic style is completely unmistakable. With “Manhattan Transfer” (1925) and the U.S.A. trilogy (“The 42nd Parallel” (1930), “1919” (1932), and “The Big Money” (1936)), Dos Passos developed a broad, kaleidoscopic technique to recreate the social and political atmosphere of the first three decades of the 20th century.
