La geometria delle coppie
Sullo sfondo della storica vittoria di Obama del 2008 con tutto il suo carico di sogni e speranze, due coppie londinesi riflettono sui desideri raggiunti e le aspettative deluse. E in un gioco di tradimenti e perdono, di fughe e incontri, esplorano la fragile architettura dell'amore. Michael non si sente piú desiderato, ma vuole salvare il proprio matrimonio perché ama ancora Melissa, come tredici anni fa. Melissa vorrebbe tornare a essere la donna che era prima di sposarsi e ha paura di essersi persa, dopo due bambini. Damian ha un lavoro frustrante e sogna di fare lo scrittore, di conquistare Melissa, di scappare dalla provincia. Stephanie, sua moglie, vorrebbe soltanto vivere con serenità la sua esistenza di casalinga e madre. Sono due coppie come tante che passeranno un anno ad avvicinarsi e allontanarsi, soffrire e amarsi.

The Wedding
In The Wedding, West brilliantly portrays the ferocity of class, race, and gender distinctions within family, groups, and generations - Entertainment Weekly West published her second novel, The Wedding (1995), at the age of 87. It received an ecstatic reaction ... Set on the Vineyard on a single summer weekend, The Wedding is narrated by an irresistibly droll omniscient voice that veers across centuries to trace the knotty, reverberating heritage of an affluent African American family ... timelessly cinematic, with painterly visual descriptions and pitch-perfect dialogue that ranges across class, region, race, age, and gender - PAris Review The tranquility of a late summer weekend in 1953 is shattered by a tragic accident in this spare, affecting novel by one of the last surviving members of the Harlem Renaissance ... Through the ancestral histories of the Coles family, West subtly reveals the ways in which color can burden and codify behavior. The author makes her points with a delicate hand, maneuvering with confidence and ease through a sometimes incendiary subject ... a triumph. - Publisher's Weekly You have only to read the first page to know that you are in the hands of a writer, pure and simple. At the end, it's as though we've been invited not so much to a wedding as to a full-scale opera, only to find that one great artist is belting out all the parts. She brings down the house - New York Times West is a wonderful storyteller, painting vivid and memorable scenes of the life and plight of African Americans from slavery to the fifties. The Wedding is an engrossing tale - USA Today

Voter Turnout and the Dynamics of Electoral Competition in Established Democracies since 1945
"This remarkable book repays attention from scholars and policymakers alike. It builds on two or more generations of careful scholarship, but literally takes that work to another level--in this case, another level of analysis." - Richard Johnston, University of Pennsylvania
