Forwarded from Michael Yates (Dos Passos)

> There is an article in today's New York Times about the renewal of
> interest in the works of the U.S. writer John Dos Passos.  His trilogy
> "USA," consisting of the novels, "1919," "The 42nd Parallel," and "The Big
> Money" are to me among the very greatest novels ever written in the United
> States. They have been out of print for a long time, but now a new edition
> of his works is being done.  Members of the list unfamiliar with dos
> Passos might want to look at these and other novels. Great radical
> writing.  Sadly, the author late in life moved to the right, but these
> works are remarkable.
