Summary: The Ultimate Noir Novel
Comment: Patricia Highsmith, Jim Thompson, Cornell Woolrich...
none of the masters of Noir suspense ever produced a
novel as chilling and effective as Kay Boyle's Monday
Night. The story concerns a washed-up, alcoholic
American novelist living in Paris in the 1930s
(no, not Hemmingway (-:). On the verge of mental,
physical and financial collapse, he latches on to
a naive American medical student and leads him on a
'quest' to find his hero, a famous French doctor who
appears less heroic and far more creepy as we learn more
about him.

Don't let this plot synopsis give you the wrong idea-
this is no Hollywood story of adventure and redemption;
rather a mock-heroic epic where things rapidly go from
bad to worse. Unfortunately, this is the only great
novel Kay Boyle got around to writing. She stuck mainly
to short stories, which is a shame as this novel is much
better than any of them. Well worth the wait.
