Scott Fitzgerald, and many other prominent figures of the twenties and thirties. Together with the narrative sections provided by the editor, this extensive selection from Dos Passos' letters and diaries is the autobiography of a mind and a chronicle of our century, continuing over several generations through war, depression, war again, social revolution, and back at last to a quiet Virginia farm and yet another generation still to be heard from. ***'Throughout his long life there were few important political or social controversies in which Dos Passos was not concerned, and they all emerge in these spontaneous letters and accounts with the freshness and impact of first sight.' (Quote from inside of dustwrapper blurb) ***'Clearly one of the most important American writers of the century - [Dos Passos] was also one of the best human beings my generation produced. Anyone can see it now looking back over the pages of this book.' [Archibald Macleish - review quote from rear of dustwrapper blurb] ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
