About this listen
Meeks is a poor Irish orphan whose energy, wit, and native sensitivity to the “main chance” take her to the unlikeliest of places. She marries into the aristocracy and follows her war-besotted husband into the latest of England and France’s seemingly endless scrapes where her husband is killed and she, on her way home, is taken prisoner by pirates, resulting in a tryst with the pirate captain that sets in motion an unlikely turn of events, leading her to join his crew. Upon the open sea, her ambition and cunning become her greatest assets as she reinvents herself anew.
From Irish reformatories to the battlefields of Europe to the swashbuckling high seas, Black Moon introduces a character you’ll never forget in an adventurous world you’ll never want to leave. Throughout Meeks’ globe-spanning narrative, we come to know a heroine of unconquerable ambition, boundless intelligence, and insatiable appetite—and to recognize a lawless, brutal, and bounteous world much like our own. Black Moon is an ingenious work of ventriloquism and page-turning entertainment from “an extravagantly talented novelist” (The New York Times).
Critic Reviews

"Absolutely brilliant, a frenetic, hilarious rush of pure feeling... The pacing is a thrill... [Wright's] a masterly writer, with a wild sense of humor."―Kevin Wilson
"In a fairer―or at least weirder―literary world, Stephen Wright would be as famous as Thomas Pynchon or Don DeLillo." ―NPR
"Why is Stephen Wright so funny and what can I do to be as funny as him? As perceptive? As inventive? As smart? Not much, I guess."―Gary Shteyngart
"In novel after unsparing novel-each one gorgeous, too, and full of awe―Stephen Wright has emerged as a kind of modern―day Socrates hectoring a complacent citizenry to have a good hard look at its collective delusions."―Joshua Ferris
