Question: Did John Dos Passos or Jane Smiley write a novel in 1992?
Context: Three Soldiers is a 1921 novel by the American writer and critic John Dos Passos.  It is one of the American war novels of the First World War, and remains a classic of the realist war novel genre.  H.L. Mencken, then practising primarily as an American literary critic, praised the book in the pages of "The Smart Set".  "Until "Three Soldiers" is forgotten and fancy achieves its inevitable victory over fact, no war story can be written in the United States without challenging comparison with it—and no story that is less meticulously true will stand up to it.  At one blast it disposed of oceans of romance and blather.  It changed the whole tone of American opinion about the war; it even changed the recollections of actual veterans of the war.  They saw, no doubt, substantially what Dos Passos saw, but it took his bold realism to disentangle their recollections from the prevailing buncombe and sentimentality." John Roderigo Dos Passos ( ; January 14, 1896 – September 28, 1970) was an American novelist and artist active in the first half of the twentieth century.  Born in Chicago, Illinois, he graduated from Harvard College in 1916.  He was well-traveled, visiting Europe and the Middle East, where he learned about literature, art, and architecture.  During World War I, he was an ambulance driver for American volunteer groups in Paris and Italy before joining the United States Army Medical Corps. The American Writers Association (AWA) was an organization formed in 1946 in opposition to an attempt to introduce a form of trade unionism for authors.  Its members included writers such as Bruce Barton, John Dos Passos, John Erskine, James T. Farrell, John T. Flynn, Rupert Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Clarence Budington Kelland, Clare Boothe Luce, Eugene Lyons, Margaret Mitchell, Ayn Rand, Dorothy Thompson and Louis Waldman. Pity is Not Enough is a 1933 semi-autobiographical modernist novel by American author Josephine Herbst and the first book in her Trexler family trilogy.  It is followed by "The Executioner Waits" (1934), and "Rope of Gold" (1939).  The novels interrelate United States history from Reconstruction to the Great Depression with Herbst's family history, reflecting the ideological crises of the early twentieth century.  The trilogy has been compared with John Dos Passos's major work, the "U.S.A." trilogy, which was published in the same decade.
