Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is an action-adventure video game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Namco Bandai Games. Announced in 2009 as "Enslaved", it was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October 2010. As a loose adaptation of the novel "Journey to the West", the game is set 150 years in a future post-apocalyptic world following a global war. Only remnants of humanity survive, along with the still active war machines left over from the conflict. The game's story follows Monkey who is forced to escort Trip home safely after they survive a ship crash. Players play as Monkey, who must combat enemies using his staff from a third-person perspective, engage in different platforming challenges and solve puzzles.
Dorothy West
In the subsequent four decades, West worked as a journalist, primarily writing for a small newspaper on Martha's Vineyard. In 1948, she started a weekly column about Oak Bluffs people, events, and nature. In 1982 The Feminist Press brought "The Living Is Easy" back into print, giving new attention to West and her role in the Harlem Renaissance; she was included in the 1992 anthology "Daughters of Africa" (ed. Margaret Busby). As a result of this renewed attention, at the age of 85 West finally finished a second novel, entitled "The Wedding", which portrayed the message that while race may be a false distinction, love knows no bounds. Published to acclaim in 1995 — the "Publishers Weekly" review stated: "West's first novel in 45 years is a triumph." — the novel was a best-seller and resulted in the publication of a collection of West's short stories and reminiscences called "The Richer, the Poorer". Oprah Winfrey turned the novel into a two-part television miniseries, "The Wedding".
