Nuova York by John Dos Passos
A kaleidoscopic, panoramic novel that follows a mosaic of characters—immigrants, laborers, artists, criminals and would-be tycoons—through the bustling, often brutal streets of early twentieth-century New York, tracing their ambitions, defeats and moral compromises; in fragmented vignettes, intercut biographies and newsy ephemera the book captures the city’s energy, anonymity and spectacle while critiquing materialism, social mobility, and the dehumanizing effects of capitalism and mass media.
