THE BIG MONEY completes John Dos Passos's three-volume "fable
of America's materialistic success and moral decline" (American
Heritage) and marks the end of "one of the most ambitious projects
that an American novelist has ever undertaken" (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. 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.
