  Summary: Lionel Olay gained a
small measure of posthumous fame due to his friendship with Hunter S. Thompson. The Dark Corners of the Night is an
original mystery that shows that Olay was a talented writer.
  
  Review: Like a lot of people, I first heard
of Lionel Olay through Hunter S. Thompson. Olay died in 1966 and Thompson memorialized him the piece “The Ultimate
Free Lancer” that appears in Thompson’s collection The Great Shark Hunt. When I saw that munseys.com
offered free downloads of two of Olay’s books, I decided to try The Dark Corners of the Night.
  
  On
the surface, Dark Corners uses a conventional mystery plot; 27-year-old Jerry Bishop works on a lousy TV show hosted by
two lousy people. After a chance meeting at a party, Jerry gets an opportunity for a “big score” that will
solve all of his problems.
  
  The book is interesting for what Olay adds to the tired formula. Dark Corners
contains a lot of background on the characters and explores Jerry’s motivations for the crime. In fact, the crime
itself is confined to a relatively minor role at the end of the book. Dark Corners is very complex for such a short
novel.
  
  Olay uses Jerry to expound upon his views of society. One of the criminals tells Jerry that
everyone comes alive “… once, late in their twenties or early thirties, when it all becomes clear to them
what they have to do, and then, when they realize what it is that is being asked, turning right over and going back to
sleep. I did not want this to happen to me.”
  
  Dark Corners is far from perfect. Among other flaws, I
noted that -
  - Olay often tells the reader what characters are thinking when it would have been subtler –
and more effective – to show it through dialogue.
  - The plot contains some unrealistic twists.
  -
While deep, the characters could be better. It is odd that Jerry is suffering a mid-life crisis at 27. Also, he is
supposed to be passionately in love with one woman, but he has an affair with another. Jerry never sees this behavior as
odd, or even remarks on it.
  - Some of the criminals are such deep thinkers that they would be more at home in
graduate school than on New York’s meanest streets.
  
  In the end, The Dark Corners of the Night is a
rarity – an original mystery. It takes the conventions of the mystery genre and adds a meditation on how we spend
our lives. Thompson’s fans will recognize that Olay shared his scorn for the bourgeosie and its mores.
