The first volume of the Region Rats trilogy, Mister Joe's Pirates, takes place in the Northwest Indiana of the late 1980s, a time and a place where the best future a kid could hope to achieve was becoming a ninja or an alcoholic. When the coach of the Pirate's little league team gets himself burnt to a cinder in a warehouse fire, Mister Joe's premiere barstool habituate, Vic Lukasic, volunteers to manage the team when he discovers many of his mortal enemies coach other teams in the league. For the remaining five games of the season, Vic, his brother, Pete, and a cadre of the last adults you'd want influencing your preteens, quickly discover the Pirates are perfectly capable of leading themselves astray.
"Mister Joe's Pirates hit me in ways I wasn't expecting. Karl Koweski paints an honest portrait of generational misery shared by a community through the lens of little league baseball. The awkwardness and recklessness of youth is juxtaposed with the despair and resentment of adulthood in a manner that is brutally human, truthful, and hilarious in all of the wrong ways."—Rockin’ Robbie Billups, Pop Culture Philosophers
“Mr. Joe’s Pirates is a high definition window opening onto the miserable, dysfunctional and toxic cycles, from one generation to the next, that all midwestern communities experience. Written under the lights of little league baseball and the last-call, dim lights of local dive bars, this cast of misfit, woeful and colorful characters drinks, cusses, fights and lusts with the authentic nihilism that can only come from hard work and tough luck. You’ll laugh, cry and shake your head, sometimes all during the same little league game.”—Dan Denton, Author of The Dead and the Desperat
