Manhattan Transfer (novel)
''Manhattan Transfer'' is an American novel by John Dos Passos published in 1925. It focuses on the development of urban life in New York City from the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age as told through a series of overlapping individual stories. It is considered to be one of Dos Passos' most important works. The book attacks the consumerism and social indifference of contemporary urban life, portraying a Manhattan that is merciless yet teeming with energy and restlessness. The book shows some of Dos Passos' experimental writing techniques and narrative collages that would become more pronounced in his ''U.S.A. trilogy'' and other later works. The technique in ''Manhattan Transfer'' was inspired in part by James Joyce's '' Ulysses'' and T. S. Eliot's '' The Waste Land'' (both 1922), and bears frequent comparison to the experiments with film collage by Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein. Sinclair Lewis described it as "a novel of the very first importance ... The dawn of a whole new sc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It featured reports, usually presented by a viewer, and interviews with the programme-makers concerned. History ''Right to Reply'' was more serious and less humorous than its BBC equivalent '' Points of View''. Also, ''R2R'' discussed all channels' programmes, although, originally, only "Channel Four programme makers erecalled to account"; after a few years ''R2R'' started to discuss ITV shows as well, and soon also added BBC, and later satellite/cable shows. ''Points of View'' only commented on BBC programmes, and continues to today. A notable feature of ''Right to Reply'' was the "video box", which gave viewers a third means of communicating with the programme in the 1980s, alongside letter or telephone.
