John Dos Passos' trilogy U.S.A. is "a cornerstone in modern American fic-
tion." It has now been made available in three paper-bound volumes by
Washington Square Press, Inc. Each of the three volumes—The 42nd
Parallel, 1919 and The Big Money—is a complete and separate novel and
each contains many illustrations by Reginald Marsh and an Introduction by
Maxwell Geismar.
Set in the 1920's, when America was bursting with new-felt power, The
Big Money tells the story of Charley Anderson, the simple aviator-hero who
returned to the States after World War I in search of money, the big time
and love; of Mary French, who loved humanity with an overflowing heart
but could not find her place in it; of Margo Dowling, the golden-haired,
giddy little girl who rose to become a nation's sweetheart on the silver
screen; and of Dick Savage, the public-relations expert whose self-willed
climb to power was also a road to self-destruction.
