She played an integral role in the development and preservation of that community. In the years between publishing her two novels, 1948s The Living is Easy and the 1995 bestseller The Wedding, she worked as a columnist for the Vineyard Gazette.Dorothy Wests Paradise captures the scope of the authors long life and career, reading it alongside the unique cultural geography of Oak Bluffs and its history as an elite African American enclavea place that West envisioned both as a separatist refuge and as a space for interracial contact.
