list by Nusch

John Dos Passos was an American novelist, most notable for his "U.S.A." trilogy. He traveled widely as a young man, visiting Europe and the Middle East, learning about literature, art, and architecture. During World War I, he was an ambulance driver for American volunteer groups in Paris and Italy before joining the U.S. Army Medical Corps. On Armistice Day, he was stationed in Paris, where he also studied anthropology at the Sorbonne. "Three Soldiers", his novel drawn from these experiences, features a character who has virtually the same military career and stays in Paris after the War.
