THE BIG MONEY

by John Dos Passos ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 6, 1936

This is not a book which is apt to boost Dos Passos popularity. Mainly the story of Charlie Anderson from his return from the war to his death after the crash. Through his life, directly influencing him, run the doings of men who hold out the lure of big money for others. This material is introduced in the form of flashbacks, news real sketches, the ""camera eye"". The stories of Schwab, Ford, and other financiers are introduced in this spotty way. Charles is an ordinary fellow, with animal instincts minus finesse, bored, wealthy, married, disappointed in his wife, in himself, in women he knows. For those who like to follow the rise and fall of ""big money"" in fiction and fact -- limited.
