«Manhattan Transfer» is the novel by John Dos Passos, published in hardcover (458 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows a wide gallery of characters from various classes and backgrounds —dock workers, waiters, lawyers, alcohol traffickers— in 1920s New York. Most share the same goal: to get money quickly. The collage technique and scenes that jump from one character to another compose a choral portrait of the city and its transformation.
1989 edition from the Biblioteca de Plata collection, with translation by José Robles Piquer, prologue by Mario Vargas Llosa and biographical sketch by Javier Fernández de Castro.
Reference work for those interested in experimental narrative and the urban portrait of American literature.
John Roderigo Dos Passos was an American novelist, most notable for his U.S.A. trilogy. He was a descendant of the Lee family of Virginia.
