Résumé
Hockey action! Realistic storytelling by an author who played the sport and the most difficult position in all of sports; an ice hockey goaltender. Geyer Street Gardens is the fourth book in the series of The Adventures of Harry and Paul, and it is Paul John Hausleben's epic novel of a journey not only through the sport of hockey but also of a journey through life. Jam-packed into 365 pages is hockey action both on the ice and off the ice, colorful hockey and life characters, humorous situations typical of Harry and Paul, sadness and sorrow, and the joy of triumph in the sport and in life.
Told through the eyes of a hockey goaltender, in the first person of the character of Paul John Henson, this novel brings the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions, from humor, to an inside look at what it is really like staring down one-hundred-mile per hour slapshots, to the details and descriptions of colorful characters in semi-professional ice hockey during the era of the 1970s and 1908s, to the joy of success.
This novel is another story from the adventures of Harry M. Redmond Jr. and his best friend, Paul John Henson. Humorous, authentic, and emotional, Mr. Hausleben weaves a magical tale, while filling in many of the missing pieces in the timelines of his two famous characters. The novel also introduces many more popular characters, such as the famous hockey goon and immensely popular fictional character of James T.
O'Malley, who begins his individual journey through the many Adventures of Harry and Paul in this novel. Geyer Street Gardens is a novel about much more than just the sport of hockey; it is also about how a sport shaped a young man's life, and in fact, his soul. Since the author actually was a semi-professional ice hockey goaltender during this era, and he played the position and met many of the people that spawned the inspiration for the characters, the novel is not only authentic; it is one of the few fiction novels ever written on the subject from an authentic viewpoint of a hockey goaltender.
The book perfectly depicts what it was like to play hockey during the era, the challenges of acceptance for Americans in the predominantly Canadian sport and how dedication and determination ultimately prevail not only in sports, but in life. Hockey fan or not, or just a Harry and Paul fan, or just a reader of epic novels, you do not want to miss the view and the insight from beneath the goalie's mask! As a bonus, the book includes pages of classic photography by the author, including current photographs of the actual sites depicted in the book, as well as vintage shots of hockey action and equipment.
