La novela empieza bien: la América de los happy 20's, Taylor, Ford, los hermanos Wright, el mecánico reconvertido a hombre de negocios, alternando la narración con la starlet en ciernes y la antítesis comunista. OK. pero a medida que se suceden páginas de sucesivas vicisitudes y amoríos de los protagonistas sin mucho más argumento que este enfoque disperso (recordando un poco a Manhattan Transfer, aunque más light) se me termina por caer el libro de las manos.

Book 62 of 2023. I set out to read John Dos Passos’ U.S.A Trilogy this year and so I have, finishing with The Big Money (published in 1936). Unforgettable characters and moments in American social, labor, war, and financial history in the 19 teens and twenties. A United States enmeshed in the lost art of becoming doesn’t seem too recognizable in today’s world.

scratch that. i found this book on the sidewalk and impulsively took it. but i have the novel with all 3 novels in it 1 "the 42nd parallel" 2. "nineteen nineteen" and 3 "the big money" (this one). so going with usa for a 3 for 1 bang buck deal. so there.
