John Dos Passos per Daniel Aaron from: Writers on the Left by Daniel Aaron CHAPTER FIFTEEN THE ADVENTURES OF JOHN DOS PASSOS (pp. 343-353) UNTIL HIS REVIEW of The Adventures of a Young Man , Cowley had been one of the most intelligent and appreciative critics of John Dos Passos. He had read each volume of his trilogy U.S.A. with sympathetic attention although the bleakness of Dos Passos's "final message" clashed with Cowley's mid-thirties optimism about the out- come of the class struggle. "For all their scope and richness," Cowley wrote, "they fail to express one side of contemporary life the will to struggle ahead, the comradeship in struggle, the consciousness of new man and new forces continually rising. Although we may be a beaten nation, the fight is not over." Nevertheless, he ranked Dos Passos among the few serious novelists of the times. Three years later, only a few months before Cowley himself would break with the movement, he pronounced Dos Passos's novel of the Spanish Civil War his weakest book since One Man's Initiation (1921). This judgment, he confessed, "may have been affected by disagreement with his political ideas," but he found the novel tired and derivative as well as factually unreliable and its conception of human motives low and mean-spirited.

Customer Reviews Dos Passos shines Superb writing by Dos Passos as he puts you in the mind of an artist trying to cope with life in the military. He wrote this in 1919 and his service in World War 1 was still burning fresh in his mind. The plot drags a little about 2/3 through but stick with it, there is a strong finish. Waiting to fight and wanting to flee, more than the battle itself
