A new appraisal of Dos Passos's work and life, Toward a Modernist
Style describes both the central currents in his early work, and
his full participation in literary modernism, culminating in his
U.S.A. trilogy, as well as the relationship of these currents to
those of an especially vibrant period in American expression.
Donald Pizer charts the evolution of Dos Passos's artistic
sensibility from its largely conventional expression at the start
of the 1920s to the radical formal experimentation of U.S.A. at its
close. He places this development in Dos Passos's writing in the
context of contemporary ideas about art and society. Pizer also
looks at the important roles that Dos Passos's expatriation and his
relationship with Ernest Hemingway played in his work as well as
his efforts as a painter and their relationship to his literary
art. Toward a Modernist Style is both an incisive guide to a major
American modernist as well as an exploration of the wider currents
that created literary modernism in the early twentieth century.
