John Dos Passos's monumental U.S.A. trilogy chronicles the tumultuous landscape of early 20th-century America, presenting a panoramic view of a nation grappling with profound social and economic transformation. Comprising The 42nd Parallel, 1919, and The Big Money, this ambitious work illustrates the lives of diverse characters—from industrialists to revolutionaries—whose individual stories intertwine against a backdrop of war, labor struggles, and the rise of consumer culture. The narrative employs innovative techniques, including newsreel clippings, biographies, and stream-of-consciousness, to construct a vivid and critical portrait of the American experience. This seminal work argues for a re-evaluation of national identity and the pursuit of the American Dream during a period of immense upheaval.
