A review by mendelbot
Manhattan Transfer by John Dos Passos

4.0

This is one of those books that is very good the first time around, but will probably be great on a re-read in a few years. It is not an easy read, partially because of the complexity of the narrative, which weaves all over the place, and partially because of the dated language. But it's a beautiful, funny, at times heartbreaking look at New York City in the early 20th Century.
