This style of writing is absolutely pleasurable for me. Part stream of consciousness and part poetic prose - Dos Passos does an incredible job of capturing both the setting of 1900s-1920s New York and the hopeless and hope filled lives of the inhabitants.

I struggled to follow any plot but it was interesting reading a book that was published 100 years ago, with all its description of city life back then.
_dunno_'s review against another edition
It really seemed readable back at uni; New York in the 20's is something I'm fascinated about. Problem is that I got really bored at some point while reading, a few years later. Maybe it just wasn't the time for it then.
