In the U.S.A. trilogy, Dos Passos undertook the task of representing the American life-style of twelve fictive characters from the early 1900s to the late 1930s that, under the influence of the consumption culture of their time, are in incessant struggle for wealth and prestige. The trilogy also incorporates multiple narrative techniques, namely the "Camera Eye," the "Newsreel" and the biographical sections, in an attempt to delineate a broader picture of the nation s history. The content of the trilogy appears to be under the influence of Veblen s notion of the leisure class. However, it is believed that not only the content, but also the form of the trilogy can be traced back to Veblen s concept of conspicuous consumption and honorific taste for the trilogy s form seems to provide a narrative surplus which ostensibly puts its superiority towards the other works of the time in evidence. For this reason, this study focuses on the technicalities of the form used by Dos Passos to find out how the notion of conspicuousness affects Dos Passos s narratological style in the U.S.A. trilogy.
