Description

Manhattan Transfer is an American novel by John Dos Passos published in 1925.

It focuses on the development of urban life in New York City from the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age as told through a series of overlapping individual stories.

It is considered to be one of Dos Passos' most important works.

The book attacks the consumerism and social indifference of contemporary urban life, portraying a Manhattan that is merciless yet teeming with energy and restlessness.

The novel tells the stories, primarily, of four people living in Manhattan from the 1890s to the late 1920s.

The stories are presented in a fragmented, contrasting way, often juxtaposing them to bring out new meaning.

The title of the book refers to a railway station, and the way that Manhattan itself was undergoing change.
