Dorothy West
On the heels of the bestseller success of herÂ Â novel ,The Wedding,, Dorothy West,Â Â the last surviving member of the HarlemÂ Â Renaissance, presents a collection of essays and stories thatÂ Â explore both the realism of everyday life, and theÂ Â fantastical, extraordinary circumstances of oneÂ Â woman's life in a mythic time. Traversing theÂ Â universal themes and conflicts between poverty andÂ Â prosperity, men and women, and young and old, andÂ Â compiling writing that spans almost seventy years,Â Â ,The Richer, The Poorer, not onlyÂ Â affords an unparalleled window into theÂ Â African-American middle class, but also delves into theÂ Â richness of experience of "one of the finest writersÂ Â produced in this country during the RoaringÂ Â Twenties"(,Book Page,).
