The Big Money

The next book on my reading list is The Big Money by John Dos Passos.

This the last in the U.S.A. Trilogy series. The overall theme deals with America from just before the dawn of the twentieth century until sometime during the 1920's.

For The Big Money, Charley Anderson is the main character. Of course other characters from the previous two books of the U.S.A. Trilogy, The 42nd Parallel and 1919, play a role. At the end of the book, the industrialist, public relations expert, and philanderer, J. Ward Morehouse has a heart attack and the young Richard Ellsworth Savage succeeds him.
