Description
On the heels of the best seller success of her novel The Wedding, Dorothy West, the last surviving member of the Harlem Renaissance, presents a collection of essays and stories that explore both the realism of everyday life, and the fantastical, extraordinary circumstances of one woman's life in a mythic time. Traversing the universal themes and conflicts between poverty and prosperity, men and women, and young and old, and compiling writing that spans almost 70 years, The Richer, The Poorer not only affords an unparalleled window into the African American middle class but also delves into the richness of experience of "one of the finest writers produced in this country during the Roaring '20s"(Book Page).
Commentaires
"West writes like a social historian, capturing significant moments that seem to alter lives forever or change nothing at all." (Los Angeles Times)
"Unforced perfection...beautifully cadenced. West has shown the power of what is left unspoken." (Chicago Tribune)
"Dorothy West is an epic storyteller." (Quarterly Black Review of Books)
