Description
Manhattan Transfer is a modernist masterpiece that captures the fragmented lives of its characters in a dazzling kaleidoscope of New York City in the 1920s. Using experimental montage techniques and vivid descriptions, John Dos Passos constructs a brilliant impressionistic portrait of the city as a great futuristic machine filled with motion, drama and human tragedy.
This novel ranks with James Joyce's Ulysses as a powerful and often lyrical meditation on the modern city. With its unique blend of fact and fiction, Manhattan Transfer is a colourful and multi-faceted chronicle of life in New York during this pivotal era.
Written by John Dos Passos, a writer who dabbled in journalism before embarking on life as a writer, Manhattan Transfer is a testament to his innovative style and art of storytelling.
