Manhattan Transfer
Opis
A colourful, multi-facted chronicle of New York in the early 1920s, Manhattan Transfer ranks with Joyce`s Ulysses as a powerful and often lyrical meditation on the modern city. Using experimental montage and collage techniques borrowed from the cinema, and the jumbled case histories of a picaresque range of characters from dockside crapshooters to high-society flappers, Dos Passos constructs a brilliant picture of New York City as a great futuristic machine filled with motion, drama and human tragedy.
