They see each other most clearly on Sundays, coming together as the twelfth man on the sidelines of a team whose history looks a lot like theirs—seasons full of promise upended by a penchant for falling short.In Honolulu Blues Joel intertwines the fate of two losers—the Detroit Lions and himself—to explore the broader impact a city’s football team can have on its residents, proving that you can overcome anything if you can learn to love what disappoints you.Born and raised to be an addict, Joel is hooked on Adderall by seven and hops on the fast track to a life of alcoholism, homelessness, and—worst of all—a career in stand-up comedy. He holds his head high because he, like his family and their beloved team, is supposed to lose.Learning from the Lions what his father couldn’t teach him, Joel charts his journey to sobriety while caring for his dying father, coming to terms with the fact that there’s a difference between failing and never having been set up for success.Honolulu Blues proves the Lions story is the story of being human—carving your own path out of the ruts of the past and accepting that you don’t have to win to be worth rooting for.ABOUT THE AUTHORJoel Walkowski is a writer, nationally touring comedian, and New York City basketball legend.
