T. S. Eliot's "extinction of personality" is one of the main tenets of modernist writing. In his U.S.A. trilogy, John Dos Passos combines the disappearance of the narrative voice and a radical critique of American society, while constantly oscillating between artfulness and artlessness, between the quest for a form of "objective fiction" and a conscious display of the construction of his work. Analyzing the notion of impersonality is a way to counter the opposition between modernism and radicalism in American fiction; it enables us to evade easy dichotomies (sophistication/naïveté, literature/politics) to show how the retreat into impersonality can lead to the birth of a collective voice within the fictional text. |
