U.S.A. Trilogy

The U.S.A. Trilogy, written by John Dos Passos, consists of three novels: "The 42nd Parallel," "1919," and "The Big Money." Published in the early 20th century, these books form a sweeping narrative about American life from the late 19th century to the 1920s, exploring themes of industrialization, social change, and the impact of World War I. Dos Passos employs a unique narrative style, blending fictional characters, real historical figures, news articles, and stream-of-consciousness techniques to capture the complexities of modern America and its diverse experiences. The trilogy is considered a landmark work in American literature.
