Manhattan Transfer

About this film

LibriVox recording of Manhattan Transfer by John Dos Passos. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Manhattan Transfer is novel that follows several individuals and their overlapping stories in New York City from the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age. The narrative jumps from one vignette to the next with little warning, adding to the impression of a Manhattan teeming with energy and restlessness. The book attacks the consumerism, mercilessness, and social indifference of contemporary urban life.
