Considered by many to be John Dos Passos's greatest work,
Manhattan Transfer is an "expressionistic picture of New
York" (New York Times) in the 1920s that reveals the lives
of wealthy power brokers and struggling immigrants alike.
From Fourteenth Street to the Bowery, Delmonico's to the
underbelly of the city waterfront, Dos Passos chronicles the
lives of characters struggling to become a part of modernity
before they are destroyed by it.
More than seventy-five years after its first publication,
Manhattan Transfer still stands as "a novel of the very
first importance" (Sinclair Lewis). It is a masterpeice of
modern fiction and a lasting tribute to the dual-edged
nature of the American dream.
