praise for BLACK MOON

Something about a black moon just doesn’t feel right – that luminous disk in the night sky is supposed to be white.

– EXAMINER

Mr. Black, with a vivacious sense of play, transformed himself into a sad, clownish character as if he were the star of a nightclub act. Prancing around the stage in a pair of red platform heel-less boots — kind of amazing, really — he shifted from humorous to heartbreaking, wearing his character like a mask.

– THE NEW YORK TIMES

The protagonist is a monstrous black creature, the glam-fabulous performer Monstah Black, who has refashioned the modernist landmark from the perspective of an African-American artist in a country led by a black President.
