I'd read Whale Music by Paul Quarrington and loved it, so when I spotted "Logan in Overtime" I gave it a go. I never laughed out loud for so long since losing a number of tickle contests as a kid.I'd always known that Goalies were a little strange - my perspective being old enough that I'd known a couple of kids who would play without masks or padding. They were nuts. Logan is such a goalie - nuts.The premise is that Logan is a fellow with an alcohol problem and some minor dementia. He believes that space aliens (are there any other kind?)are out to get him. He is also a semi-professional goalie in a hockey league with a minor problem. They have no overtime rule for their play-offs. Everyone plays until the game is over (kind of like European soccer, I guess).The team he plays for is mentioned in a book by the same author, "King Leary" which is a lot easier to find, let me tell you. In fact, I'd be very interested in finding a copy of "Logan" if that were at all possible...
