Extractions: L I B R A Volume 8 No. 3, February 2001 The John Dos Passos Collection in Special Collections As part of this year's Virginia Festival of the Book, the Library will present a private look at the John Dos Passos materials in Special Collections, along with a talk by Lucy Dos Passos Coggin on what it was like to grow up as the daughter of this great American writer. The presentation, scheduled for March 22 at 6pm in the McGregor Room of Alderman Library, is free and open to the public. For more information about the Virginia Festival of the Book, call (804) 924-6890 or visit their Web site at http://www.vabook.org The John Dos Passos Collection presents a vivid chronicle of the activities, thoughts, and literary skills of one of the pre-eminent American writers as he analyzed, reported on, and criticized the turbulent events of the 20th century. Dos Passos, born in Chicago in 1896, identified with the leftist radical sympathies of the post-World War I period, and experimented in expressing these sentiments with innovative writing techniques in some of his most important and successful works, including: One Man's Initiation (1917), Three Soldiers (1921), A Pushcart at the Curb (1922), and Manhattan Transfer (1925). Modern American society and urban alienation were common subjects in such novels as his 1930s landmark U.S.A. trilogy, The 42nd Parallel (1930), 1919 (1932), and The Big Money (1936).

Extractions: E scritor estadounidense representativo de la "generación perdida", cuyas novelas, amargas y profundamente impresionistas, atacan la hipocresía y el materialismo de los Estados Unidos entre las dos guerras mundiales y tuvieron una honda influencia en varias generaciones de novelistas europeos y estadounidenses. Dos Passos nació el 14 de enero de 1896 en Chicago y estudió en la Universidad de Harvard. Su experiencia como conductor de ambulancias en Francia durante la guerra le sirvió como telón de fondo de su primera novela, Iniciación de un hombre: 1917 (1920). El reconocimiento de la crítica y del público le llegó con su siguiente novela, amarga y antibelicista, Tres soldados Manhattan Transfer (1925), una visión panorámica de la vida neoyorquina entre 1890 y 1925, tuvo un éxito inmenso. Esta poderosa novela, construida con fragmentos de canciones populares, titulares de prensa, pasajes de monólogo interior y fragmentos naturalistas de las vidas de una multitud de personajes sin relación entre sí, determinó el estilo de las mejores de sus últimas novelas. Su trilogía USA (reunida en 1938), en el mismo estilo, amplió su panorama para abarcar todo el país. Comprende las novelas El paralelo 42 (1932) y El gran dinero (1936), y describe el crecimiento del materialismo estadounidense desde la última década del siglo pasado a la Gran Depresión. Tras la publicación de USA, Dos Passos sufrió un cambio en su filosofía. Dadas sus dotes observadoras, viajó por Europa, Oriente Próximo y Marruecos como periodista y el resultado fue una gran desilusión política que plasmó en otra trilogía

Extractions: Best known as a major literary figure from the 1920s through the 1940s with such books as THREE SOLDIERS and MANHATTAN TRANSFER, John Dos Passos pursued a concurrent career as a visual artist. The Bayly Art Museum will show more than 80 watercolors and drawings of landscapes and portraits that speak to the diverse cultures he encountered on his travels. The exhibition, The Art of John Dos Passos, which opens Saturday, July 21 and runs through Sunday, Sept. 16, is divided into sections corresponding to his travels. These include works from a trip to Spain immediately after his discharge from the U.S. Army in 1920, his return to Paris and trips to Morocco in the mid-1920s and to Mexico from 1926 to 1934. Also on view will be paintings he exhibited in New York City in the 1920s chronicling his travels as a social revolutionary throughout the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. A number of the watercolors he made during these trips and while living in New York are shown as cover art, and, as in the case of the Orient Express, as illustrations in his books. Included in the exhibition are Dos Passos's designs for productions presented by the New Playwrights Theater in New York, a proletarian dramatist group. IMAGE:

Extractions: Dos Passos, John Roderigo 1896-1970, American novelist, b. Chicago, grad. Harvard, 1916. His first successful novel, Three Soldiers (1921), belonged to the group of socially conscious novels of disillusionment that appeared after World War I. With Manhattan Transfer (1925) his major creative period began. Intertwining accounts of a succession of unrelated characters, this novel presents a composite picture of the meaninglessness and decadence of the life of the typical New Yorker of the early 1920s. In his finest achievement, the trilogy U.S.A. (1937), composed of The 42nd Parallel (1932), and The Big Money (1936), he developed the kaleidoscopic technique of Manhattan Transfer ; by skillfully weaving together narration, stream of consciousness , biographies of representative figures, and quotations from newspapers and magazines, Dos Passos presented the first three decades of the 20th cent. in America. After U.S.A.

http://www.cardinalbook.com/moredosp.htm

Extractions: American novelist John Dos Passos lived from 1896 to 1970. Born the illegitimate son of a wealthy corporate lawyer and a "Southern gentlewoman," his life took him from early radicalism to a later strong conservatism. Raised largely abroad, he was educated at Harvard, served as an ambulance driver in World War I, and became the chief literary spokesman for the radical Left in the 1930s. Disillusioned by the Spanish Civil War, over time he came to embrace the Republican Right. Noted for his discerning verbal portraits of modern society, he is best known for his classic works Manhattan Transfer and the U.S.A. trilogy. John Dos Passos's life is recounted in a well-received biography by Townsend Ludington, first published in 1980 and re-released in paperback in 1998.

http://www.cardinalbook.com/blurdosp.htm

Extractions: by John Dos Passos Making allusions to Don Quixote's wanderings on his trusty steed Rosinante, American novelist John Dos Passos creates a story of two travelers making their way by foot from Madrid to Toledo in post-World War I Spain. Along the way, they encounter simple, earthy folk on the trail and in taverns, thus providing a convenient backdrop for Dos Passos's observations on the tension between old agrarian ways and new industrial imperatives. Dos Passos interweaves the story with chapters about the finest Hispanic poets and novelists of the day. One of Dos Passos's earliest books, it delights the reader with the young writer's poetic use of the English language. Background information Online book

Extractions: ToC Chapter X "THEY say you sell shoe-laces," said Martin, his eyes blinking in the faint candlelight. Crouched in the end of the dugout was a man with a brown skin like wrinkled leather, and white eyebrows and moustaches. All about him were piles of old boots, rotten with wear and mud, holding fantastically the imprints of the toes and ankle-bones of the feet that had worn them. The candle cast flitting shadows over them so that they seemed to move back and forth faintly, as do the feet of wounded men laid out on the floor of the dressing-station. "I'm a cobbler by profession," said the man. He made a gesture with the blade of his knife in the direction of a huge bundle of leather laces that hung from a beam above his head. "I've done all those since yesterday. I cut up old boots into laces." "Helps out the five sous a bit," said Martin, laughing. "This post is convenient for my trade," went on the cobbler, as he picked out another boot to be cut into laces, and started hacking the upper part off the worn sole. "At the little hut, where they pile up the stiffs before they bury themyou know, just to the left outside the abrithey leave lots of their boots around. I can pick up any number I want." With a clasp-knife he was cutting the leather in a spiral, paring off a thin lace. He contracted his bushy eyebrows as he bent over his work. The candlelight glinted on the knife blade as he twisted it about dexterously.
