What is John Dos Passos and Cinema about?

__John Dos Passos & Cinema__, the first study to use the novelist’s little-known writing for the screen to assess the trajectory of his prolific career, explores both how film aesthetics shaped his revolutionary modernist narratives and how he later reshaped them directly into film form. The book features previously unpublished manuscripts and correspondence illustrating case studies of his screen writing during the 1930s for Hollywood feature films and in an innovative independent treatment; it examines the complexities of his role in the 1937 political documentary __The Spanish Earth__; and it explores the unproduced screen treatment of his attempts from the 1940s on to adapt his epic trilogy __U.S.A.__ directly for the screen and to realign its leftist politics toward the anti-Communist conservatism reflected in his work and activism of that period. __John Dos Passos & Cinema__ thus provides a new context for and reading of his modernist literary innovations and his conservative political reorientation in the 1930s that redefined his literary career.
