Açıklama
This is the first novel of Dos Passos's trilogy, U.S.A., which covers the years between 1900 to 1914. "The individual episodes and the characterization, the setting and the commentaries, are in themselves less important than the effectiveness of the entire book and the trilogy. Dos Passos employs with skill the modernist techniques that were coming into fashion during the first decades of the century. There is no definite plot; the book flows in a stream of time and is designed to portray the United States rather than to narrate the lives of the various - almost innumerable - individuals who figure in it. The method of narration was a bold innovation. Dos Passos uses systematically the 'News-Reel,' describing the social background; 'Biographies,' profiles of prominent personalities; 'Novels,' which deal with the more ordinary characters of the time; 'the Camera Eye,' by means of which the author himself can supply an impressionistic personal commentary on what is happening. The result is sometimes confusing more often a powerful presentation of a vast panorama of human nature and of history."
