U.S.A. Trilogy
Three novels follow a dozen ordinary Americans, from a stenographer to a public relations man, from the turn of the century through the war and into the boom. Their lives are cut with newsreel headlines, song fragments, capsule biographies of the famous, and a first-person Camera Eye. America itself as protagonist, montaged into one epic.
