Dos Passos drew upon his experiences as a volunteer ambulance driver serving near Verdun in writing "One Man's Initiation: 1917" (1920), in which an idealistic young American learns of the fear, uncertainty, & camaraderie of war through his encounters w/ French soldiers & civilians. The unexpurgated text presented in this edition restores passages censored by the novel's original publisher. In "Three Soldiers" (1921) Dos Passos engaged in a deeper exploration of World War I & its psychological impact upon an increasingly fractured civilization. The novel depicts the experiences of Fuselli, a store clerk from San Francisco pathetically eager to win promotion; Chrisfield, an Indiana farmer who comes to hate army discipline; & Andrews, an introspective aspiring composer from New York, as they fight in the final battles of the war & then confront a world in which an illusory peace offers little respite from the dehumanizing servility & regimentation of militarized life. Dos Passos described "Manhattan Transfer" (1925), a kaleidoscopic portrait of New York City in the first two decades of the 20th century, as "utterly fantastic & New Yorkish." Drawing on the naturalism of Theodore Dreiser & the modernism of James Joyce, the novel follows the rising & falling fortunes of more than a dozen characters as they move through a bewildering maze of tenements & skyscrapers in which Wall Street speculators, theatrical celebrities, impoverished immigrants, & anarchist rebels all strive to make sense out of the chaos of modern urban existence. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: JOHN DOS PASSOS (1896-1970) was born in Chicago & graduated from Harvard in 1916. His service as an ambulance driver in Europe at the end of World War I led him to write "Three Soldiers" in 1919, the first in a series of works that established him as one of the most prolific, inventive, and influential American writers of the 20th century. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: Townsend Ludington is Cary C. Boshamer Professor of English & American Studies at the University of North Carolina & author of "John Dos Passos: A Twentieth Century Odyssey." * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, & keeping permanently in print, America's best & most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, & ribbon markers, & are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
