I "To Jack Potter, best wishes, John Dos Passos, Chicago, Oct 31 '54".

Signed limited edition, number 279 of 350 sets, inscribed by the writer to his first bibliographer Jack Potter.

The USA Trilogy was first published in 1937, in a volume entitled U.S.A. The 42nd Parallel, Nineteen Nineteen, and The Big Money were originally published in 1930, 1932 and 1936 respectively and is the work for which Dos Passos is best known. The trilogy traces the historical evolution of American society during the beginning three decades of the twentieth century in an unusual nonlinear and experimental style, a technique which includes the incorporation of song lyrics (christened "Newsreels") and clippings of newspaper articles collaged beside the stories of multiple fictional narrators. Dos Passos also composed using an autobiographical form of stream of consciousness writing which he named the workings of a "Camera Eye" and which had considerable influence over writers such as Jean Paul Sartre.

The trilogy was written during a period in which Dos Passos aligned himself with the politics of the Left, before the 1950s in which disillusionment following the Spanish Civil War propelled him towards more of a contrary conservative outlook. Regardless, The USA Trilogy was a creation that followed the publication of his novel Manhattan Transfer, which lent his stream of consciousness technique to a commercial platform, and demonstrated John Dos Passos' beginning as a social revolutionary.

Comfortable and light!
Color: Brown, Size: Large
Wanted something that was going to be lightweight but had those longer sleeves because I do still get a tad chilly even on the warmer days. This is perfect, the fabric is lightweight and breathable, the loose cut around the waist adds to the top's "breathability," but it still keeps you cozy and warm on those chilly mornings! The brown is a lovely warm-coffee tone and it hasn't faded a bit in the wash. Very nice shirt to add to your collection!

looks nice, well made and styish.
This was a gift for a friend. It is well made, has a good modern style to it, comfortable to wear, she is taller, and it fits her well. Its a bit warm, so a fall kind of clothing option.
