From the Publisher:
In more than 75 years as one of our most respected black writers, Dorothy West has created a wealth of wonderful short stories, here collected for the first time in a single volume. Her superb fiction is matched by a wide range of autobiographical pieces; the result: a luminous record of 20th-century African-American life.
From the Inside Flap:
On the heels of the bestseller 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 seventy 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 Twenties"(Book Page).
