John Dos Passos

John Dos Passos was an American novelist and major figure of the post-World War I "lost generation," renowned for his critical portrayal of American society and his innovative narrative techniques. His reputation rests primarily on the U.S.A. trilogy—The 42nd Parallel, 1919, and The Big Money—which fuses fictional narratives, biographical portraits, and newsreel formats to depict America's social and economic landscape in the early 20th century[2][4].
