ABSTRACT
Chamberlain was among those who signed a letter of protest against the Communist Party's disruption of a Socialist rally in New York City in February 1934. The letter appeared in the 6 March issue of the New Masses. Dos Passos had also signed, along with Edmund Wilson, Lionel Trilling, and twenty-one others. In this review essay Chamberlain places Adventures of a Young Man in the political context of Dos Passos's career as a writer.
