Manhattan Transfer

by John Dos Passos, José Robles Piquer (Translator)

Overview

Generally acknowledged to be Dos Passos' finest novel, MANHATTAN TRANSFER is a tapestry of many fragments of the New York scene. Characters appear and disappear like threads in a design, and, like any great composition, the whole is much more than the sum of its parts.

"Dos Passos displays his power, his architectonic ability, and a poetic sense of rhythms, color, sounds and smells." (Boston Transcript)
