    <![CDATA[THE BIG MONEY completes John Dos Passos's three-volume &quot;fable of America's materialistic success and moral decline&quot; (American Heritage) and marks the end of  &quot;one of the most ambitious projects that an American novelist has ever undertaken&quot; (Time). Here we come back to America after the war and find a nation on the upswing. Industrialism booms. The stock market surges. Lindbergh takes his solo flight. Henry Ford makes automobiles. From New York to Hollywood, love affairs to business deals, it is a country taking the turns too fast, speeding toward the crash of 1929.  <br/><br/>Ultimately, whether the novels are read together or separately, they paint a sweeping portrait of collective America and showcase the brilliance and bravery of one of its most enduring and admired writers.]]>

    <![CDATA[THE BIG MONEY completes John Dos Passos's three-volume &quot;fable of America's materialistic success and moral decline&quot; (American Heritage) and marks the end of  &quot;one of the most ambitious projects that an American novelist has ever undertaken&quot; (Time). Here we come back to America after the war and find a nation on the upswing. Industrialism booms. The stock market surges. Lindbergh takes his solo flight. Henry Ford makes automobiles. From New York to Hollywood, love affairs to business deals, it is a country taking the turns too fast, speeding toward the crash of 1929.  <br/><br/>Ultimately, whether the novels are read together or separately, they paint a sweeping portrait of collective America and showcase the brilliance and bravery of one of its most enduring and admired writers.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Hemingway's spare prose meets Joyce's experimental stream of consciousness with a healthy dose of pop culture to parallel the action. No wonder Doctorow wrote the intro; it pre-dates his blend of real headline events with fiction to create the American dream gone wrong.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this for a class and really enjoyed it. The characterization borders on caricature, which made it much more fun than I expected it to be (in my edition--most I think--there are illustrations too). When I get a chance, I'd like to read the first two books in the series as well. ]]></body>

Alas, it is work that Dos Passos, who swung far to the right later in life, never managed to repeat.
