Bradley Bravard reseñó The 42nd Parallel de John Dos Passos (U.S.A. Trilogy, #1)
A Boring Epic?
3 estrellas
I appreciate the scope of Dos Passos' The 42nd Parallel, it's a dazzling effort. Yet I never felt genuine interest in the numerous characters. Also, a stream-of-consciousness style doesn't work for me, so I found the Camera Eye and Newsreel sections nearly incomprehensible. I don't feel compelled to read the other books in the trilogy.
