Shocked and outraged by the devastating effects of the economic crash, North American writers levied contempt and anger against the politicians and industrialists who seemed responsible and galvanized pity for the helpless victims. ln his U.S.A. trilogy, consisting of the 42nd Parallel (1930),1919 (1932),and The Big Money (1936),John Dos Passos experimented With three technical devices, "Newsreel," "Biographies," and "The Camera Eye," which constitute a framework for the novel. "Newsreel" employs a montage(1) of newspaper excerpts detailing the significant as well as trivial context against which his characters move. the "Biographies" showcase representative Americans of the time including Luther Burbank, Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford, and Frank Lloyd Wringht. "The Camera Eye" employs the modernist stream-of-consciousness prose style which serves as a counterpoint to the characters' narratives. Together the three devices coalesce to paint a stirring picture of injustice and a society in revolt.
