FWIW, we heard Dos Passos' daughter and biographer speak a
couple years ago. She's a horticulturist and arrived late in
her father's life. It was funny to hear how he reacted to the
1960s civil turmoil that his college-age daughter was in the
middle of. Apparently, he was crusty but still kept a sense
of humor about him. One thing I liked hearing was that Dos
Passos answered all of his mail from readers. I'll also cast
a vote in favor MANHATTAN TRANSFER. I read it years ago and
enjoyed it.
