A Push Cart At The Curb is a novel written by John Dos Passos and published in 1922. The story is set in New York City during the early 20th century and follows the lives of several characters who live in a tenement building. The main character is Joe, a young man who works as a pushcart vendor and dreams of becoming a successful businessman. He is in love with Mary, a young woman who lives in the same building and works as a seamstress. The novel explores themes of poverty, immigration, and the American Dream. The characters struggle to make ends meet and face challenges such as discrimination and exploitation. The story is told through a series of vignettes, each focusing on a different character or aspect of life in the tenement building. The writing style is experimental, using stream-of-consciousness and fragmented narratives to convey the complexity of the characters' experiences. A Push Cart At The Curb is considered a classic of American literature and an important work in the modernist movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
