The 42nd Parallel by John Dos Passos
4.0

4 stars, a fascinating novel with a strong command of tone and voice. It doesn't have a traditional narrative structure which can leave it feeling a bit unmoored at times but I'm intrigued enough and pleased enough with its experimentation to continue on to the sequel. The book does a great job providing various snapshots of early 1900s American life specifically through the lens of political turmoil and working class angst at corporate greed.
