Edited and framed by a detailed biographical narrative from scholar Townsend Ludington, this volume chronicles Dos Passos's life from his formative years through his artistic maturity, offering an unfiltered window into the mind of the man behind landmark works such as Manhattan Transfer and the U.S.A. trilogy.\n\nLudington's meticulous editorial hand brings both rigour and intimacy to the collection, weaving together primary source material with authoritative biographical insight to illuminate the personal, political, and artistic forces that shaped Dos Passos's worldview. The letters and diaries capture his disillusionment with war, his complex relationships with contemporaries like Ernest Hemingway, and his evolving political convictions — from radical leftist to conservative commentator. A compelling portrait of a restless, searching intellect, this volume leaves the reader wondering whether the man was ever as fully understood in his lifetime as he is within these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130990633179,"sku":"2026200012657-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9b4eca77-74de-4d24-bee7-5a2fe9c26202.png?v=1786593787","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012657-secondhand-the-fourteenth-chronicle-letters-and-diaries-of-john-dos-passos","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
