We Are Pirates is a brief novel in which a group of teenagers and an old man suffering from dementia set sale as pirates in San Francisco Bay. I felt it took a bit longer to get moving than The Basic Eight or Watch Your Mouth. However, about half way in, things start to pick up. The result is a perfect combination of absurdity and realism. Our pirate band sets out for the most outrageous undertakings, but the horror and the consequences of them are never ignored.
Overall: A
We Are Pirates will be available February 3.
