************* In at least the first of the trilogy (that's
all I read of it), I recall Passos's main experiment being
the replacement of periods with "ands," ala Gertrude Stein.
Passos was good friends with Hemingway before a bitter break
occurred during the Spanish Civil Way. Hemingway eventually
alienated almost all his friends.
Tough lady and wife Mary hung on till the tragic
end.
His life is as interesting as his best novels.
