John Roderigo Dos Passos, son of John Randolph Dos Passos, was an American novelist and artist.
Considered one of the Lost Generation writers, Dos Passos published his first novel in 1920, titled One Man’s Initiation: 1917, followed by an antiwar story, Three Soldiers, which brought him considerable recognition. His 1925 novel about life in New York City, titled Manhattan Transfer was a success.
