John Dos Passos
Considered by many to be John Dos Passos' greatest work, Manhattan Transfer is an "expressionistic picture of New York" (New York Times) in the 1920s that reveals the lives of wealthy power brokers and struggling immigrants alike. From 14th Street to the Bowery, Delmonico's to the underbelly of the city waterfront, Dos Passos chronicles the lives of characters struggling to become a part of modernity before they are destroyed by it.
More than 90 years after its first publication, Manhattan Transfer still stands as "a novel of the very first importance" (Sinclair Lewis). It is a masterpiece of modern fiction and a lasting tribute to the dual-edged nature of the American dream.

And I have a hard time with the narrator, because he often narrates a certain kind of American male author I find overrated so when I hear his voice I immediately think, "oh it's one of THOSE books." Fortunately, I enjoyed this novel much more than most of the others I've heard him narrate so I was mostly able to forget Owen Meany et al.
