Description
This is the second novel in Dos Passos's trilogy U.S.A. and it carries into World War I the careers of the characters in the first novel, the Forty second parallel, beginning with Joe Williams, the wandering, battered, and hapless sailor. Four new characters are introduced; Dick Savage, an esthetic, idealistic young Harvard man; Eveline Hutchins, bored and seeking new sensations; "Daughter" (Anne Elizabeth Trent), a relief worker; and Ben Compton, a young Jewish anarchist. The grim stories of their lives are interspersed with passages of "the Newsreel," "the Camera Eye," and short, sardonic biographical sketches, all lending historical background and social dimension to the narrative episodes, as they did in the first novel.
