To Sinclair Lewis, John Dos Passos was “the father of humanized and living fiction-not merely for America but for the world.” For Norman Mailer, Dos Passos’ “trilogy on America came as close to the Great American novel as anyone,” and Malcolm Cowley hailed this remarkable epic as “the most important and the best of the many American novels written in the naturalistic tradition… a powerful and personal vision” (New York Times).
