I received so many thoughtful notes from strangers of all stripes in response to this story— from Rural Texans to Toronto Jews, seniors to teenagers, omnivores to vegans. It apparently made people laugh. And cry. And think. About hunting, yes— why they do or why they don’t or why maybe now they might, but also about humanity. First-time big-game hunting stories have been written before—but never in Bon Appetit magazine. I tried to illuminate the illogical gap between those who hunt to eat and those of us who merely love to eat. I wrote about my unlikely experience, and a group of women from different backgrounds and beliefs, who come together to learn—from other women—to do something still overwhelmingly done by men. Meat is falling out of fashion, but interest in hunting as a sustainable ethical way to consume it is arguably on the rise. I wrote about why hunting matters today—in our warming, divided, On Demand world.

For readers of Outlawed, Piranesi, and The Night Tiger, a riveting, roaring adventure novel about a legendary Chinese pirate queen, her fight to save her fleet from the forces allied against them, and the dangerous price of power. When Shek Yeung sees a Portuguese sailor slay her husband, a feared pirate, she knows she must act swiftly or die. Instead of mourning, Shek Yeung launches a new plan: immediately marrying her husband’s second-in-command, and agreeing to bear him a son and heir, in order to retain power over her half of the fleet. But as Shek Yeung vies for control over the army she knows she was born to lead, larger threats loom. The Chinese Emperor has charged a brutal, crafty nobleman with ridding the South China Seas of pirates, and the Europeans-tired of losing ships, men, and money to Shek Yeung’s alliance-have new plans for the area. Even worse, Shek Yeung’s cutthroat retributions create problems all their own. As Shek Yeung navigates new motherhood and the crises of leadership, she must decide how long she is willing to fight, and at what price, or risk losing her fleet, her new family, and even her life.
