Nominee for the PEN Center USA West Literary Award in Fiction

"Pirates, high-tech naval officers, and a pair of 1990's American women meet in The Black Sea – a great old-fashioned sea story set in modern Muslim Asia. Richard Setlowe is an ebullient, fiercely generous writer, and his work overflows with an imagination both joyous and dark."
