This essay offers an extended overview of E. L. Doctorow's literary production, giving special emphasis to analyzing how each of his books, although very distinctive in terms of style and tone and in revitalizing the conventions of a genre, is characterized by an exploration of American history and myth, a probing of evil and individual responsibility, a quest for meaning in a world where meaning is relative, a concern with the act of writing.

Abstract
This essay offers an extended overview of E. L. Doctorow's literary production, giving special emphasis to analyzing how each of his books, although very distinctive in terms of style and tone and in revitalizing the conventions of a genre, is characterized by an exploration of American history and myth, a probing of evil and individual responsibility, a quest for meaning in a world where meaning is relative, a concern with the act of writing.
