A review by edenseve63
Manhattan Transfer by John Dos Passos

4.0

Dos Passos journey around the island Manhattan is a panorama of the people who would make the 20th century the American century. Dos Passos writes with a cinematic eye and giving the reader a feeling they are peeping through windows at other people's lives. No wonder Dos Passos would go on to journalism, his sense of detail is acute. One has the sense Dos Passos is so precise in the detail to lend as much humanity and dignity to his characters as possible as they represent all struggling humanity. A must for any library and school.
