Here, in this special double edition, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth and his trusty man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, solve two of their most bizarre cases.Some Buried CaesarA prize bull destined for the barbecue is found pawing the corpse of a late restaurateur. Wolfe is certain that Hickory Caesar Grindon, the soon-to-be-beefsteak bull, isn’t the murderer. But who among a veritable stampede of suspects—including a young woman who’s caught Archie’s eye—turned the tables on Hickory’s would-be butcher? It’s a crime that wins a blue ribbon for sheer audacity—and Nero Wolfe is the one detective audacious enough to solve it.The Golden SpidersA twelve-year-old boy shows up at Wolfe’s brownstone with an incredible story. Soon the great detective finds himself hired for the grand sum of $4.30 and faced with the question of why the last two people to hire him were murdered. To keep it from becoming three, Wolfe must discover the unlikely connection between a gray Cadillac, a mysterious woman, and a pair of earrings shaped like spiders dipped in gold. You can be sure that any mystery written by Rex Stout has gone done in history as a classic. The same is true of Some Buried Caesar and The Golden Spiders. Thoroughly enjoyable. A whodunit that will keep you guessing till the very end. Just when you think you know the authorities have their man (or woman) our hero Nero Wolfe finds something wrong with their conclusions despite all the evidence against the source of evil otherwise.

  • Wolfe Pack -- Official Site of the Nero Wolfe Society
    Wolfe Pack -- Official Site of the Nero Wolfe Society Famous detective Nero Wolfe takes on murder in The Golden Spiders A&E's mystery movie that is smart, witty and eminently watchable THE TIMES-PICAYUNE [NEW ORLEANS] | DAVID CUTHBERT | MARCH 1, 2000 If the painstaking replication of Nero Wolfe's celebrated townhouse on West 35th Street isn't enough to convince you that the latest dramatization of Rex Stout's grandly proportioned, eccentric, epicurean private detective is in good hands, then Wolfe's first articulate snarl at Lt. Cramer of Homicide should suffice. The language is pure Wolfe and its delivery, by the superb actor Maury Chaykin, is smooth and measured, with just the requisite bite. It is at this point that fans of Stout's 42 Wolfe books will breathe a sigh of relief. Paul Monash's screenplay returns again and again to Wolfe's vernacular, the choice of Chaykin for Wolfe is inspired and Timothy Hutton makes a glib, engaging Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's legman and chronicler. Archie is as casual as Wolfe is formal, as slangy as Wolfe is proper, as quick as Wolfe is deliberate. And a gallery of secondary characters also comes to more or less believable life: Wolfe's world-class chef Fritz Brenner, Lt. Cramer and his perpetually irate cohort Sgt. Purley Stebbins, and the nicely differentiated Wolfe "operatives" -- bearish Fred Durkin, pretty boy Orrie Cather and the indispensable Saul Panzer, played by another resourceful actor, Saul Rubinek. In "The Golden Spiders," Wolfe rejects a dinner of starlings Fritz has prepared with saffron, tarragon and a red currant glaze (instead of the customary sage), accepts his lowest retainer ever -- $4.30 from street urchin Pete Drosos -- tends to his orchids and solves a triple murder while imbibing copious quantities of beer.

  • Rex Stout: an American Wit and Propagandist
    Reprinted with permission. http://www.criminalelement.com/blogs/2011/05/rex-stout-an-american-wit-and-propagandist Hall of Famers Rex Stout: An American Wit and Propagandist Robert Hughes Rex Stout was a propagandist. You might have thought he was only that author who came up with the enduring Nero Wolfe mysteries, featuring the larger-than-large, orchid-growing detective and his dashing and irreverent right-hand man, Archie Goodwin. But Stout (1886–1975) was that most remarkable—and American—of crime writers. He was a jack of all trades. He made a fortune creating a banking system, which gave him a cushion as a writer. He helped strengthen U.S. copyright law for writers. He was one of the first board members of the American Civil Liberties Union. He was a very public supporter of the United Nations. He was also targeted by the FBI (and wrote a Nero Wolfe book, The Doorbell Rang, that targets the FBI's intrusions into the lives of American citizens.) But back to the propaganda. During World War II, Stout wrote anti-Nazi propaganda for the government, as president of the Writers' War Board. He knew the power of words—and he wanted to wield them on behalf of liberty and freedom everywhere. Not your typical mystery writer. But if he hadn't created Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, and written such witty and elegant mysteries featuring these distinctive characters, Stout would probably be remembered as a footnote in the American banking system. He created a school banking system, adopted by several hundred schools nationwide, which allowed children to keep track of money saved in accounts.

  • It's Nero Wolfe to the Rescue in Detective Story 'Red Box'
    It's Nero Wolfe to the rescue in detective story 'Red Box' Article by: ROHAN PRESTON \ Star Tribune | June 9, 2014 - 12:22 PM Park Square adapts Rex Stout mystery for stage. As far as dying onstage goes, Bob Malos’ performance at Park Square in the premiere of “The Red Box” is at once essential to the plot and unwittingly droll. Malos plays avuncular boutique owner Boyden McNair, a suspect in the death of a model poisoned by candy at his shop. Early in the show, McNair rushes into the office of detective Nero Wolfe (E.J. Subkoviak), a place where he had reluctantly been before. Now he appears ready to spill his guts. McNair grows short of breath. He collapses onto the floor and starts to retch, as if being strangled by invisible hands. Wolfe tries to help, but to no avail. McNair turns over onto his face, writhes and goes still. It’s not giving much away to say we quickly learn that McNair was not fighting some unseen ghost; he had been poisoned. Before his death, he named Wolfe his executor, and also bequeathed a red box and its mysterious contents to the detective. The bequest is a holy grail and motivating idea. Wolfe competes with the police to find it. New York-based playwright Joseph Goodrich adapted “The Red Box” from the fourth novel in Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe detective series. He has condensed the action to one locale — Wolfe’s office (designed by Rick Polenek). He also has cut characters and made some plot changes to fit this work into a drawing-room mystery for the stage.

  • On the Case, Again and Again, with Nero Wolfe
    JAMES MUSTICH ON THE CASE, AGAIN AND AGAIN, WITH NERO WOLFE “What are you reading?” my wife asked me, unable to spy a title from the nondescript e-reader I held as I was propped on pillows in bed. And, as I had responded hundreds of times before to that same question, posed in the same circumstance, I muttered, “Nero Wolfe.” “How many times have you read the one you’re reading now?” with the aforementioned Fer-de-Lance, and read my way “Three or four, at least, I imagine,” I replied. The fact of through the Wolfe bibliography in order of publication date, the matter is I had taken to downloading the e-books of with the goal of bidding these nearly constant companions Rex Stout’s chronicles of his famous sedentary sleuth and a fond farewell.

Borrowing one, I found engagements: spines broken, pages loosened, the paper that Wolfe’s eccentricities and Archie’s insouciance caught having aged along with me into a brittle and not especially my fancy; no doubt the effects of both were intensified by attractive old age. Plus, the handiness of the electronic the particular volume I happened to pick up—Plot It Yourself versions meant I didn’t have to scour a house full of less- (1959)—in which an elaborate plagiarism scheme that than-optimally organized bookshelves to find one whenever turns deadly is unraveled by Wolfe’s attention to niceties of I felt the urge to reenter the world of Wolfe’s distinctive and punctuation, diction, and even the shaping of paragraphs.

  • Rex Stout Does Not Belong in Russia: Exporting the Detective Novel
    Wesleyan University The Honors College Rex Stout Does Not Belong in Russia: Exporting the Detective Novel by Molly Jane Levine Zuckerman Class of 2016 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors in the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Program Middletown, Connecticut April, 2016 Foreword While browsing through a stack of Russian and American novels in translation on a table on Arbat Street in Moscow in 2013, I came across a Russian copy of one of my favorite books, And Be a Villain, by one of my favorite authors, Rex Stout. I only knew about this author because my father had lent me a copy of And Be a Villain when I was in middle school, and I was so entranced by the novel that I went out to Barnes & Noble to buy as many as they had in stock. I quickly ran out of Stout books to read, because at the time, his books were out of print in America. I managed to get hold of most copies by high school, courtesy of a family friend’s mother who had died and passed on her collection of Stout novels to our family. Due to the relative difficulty I had had in acquiring these books in America, I was surprised to find one lying on a book stand in Moscow, so I bought it for less than 30 cents (which was probably around the original price of its first printing in America).

  • Rex Stout (1886-1975)
    REX STOUT (1886-1975) FEATURING ALL THE NERO WOLFE TITLES In 1959, at age 73, Rex Stout received the Mystery Writers of America’s Grand Master Award. At the time, he had published 32 books featuring Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, his most enduring characters, including classics such as THE LEAGUE OF FRIGHTENED MEN (1935), SOME BURIED CEASAR (1939), and AND BE A VILLAIN (1948). Not surprisingly, given his outspoken left-wing political views, particularly on civil liberties, Stout had also created one of the earliest female private investigators, Theolinda “Dol” Bonner, in THE HAND IN GLOVE (1937), and a part-Native American farmer-turned-detective, Tecumseh Fox, in DOUBLE FOR DEATH (1939). Having been named a Grand Master, however, hardly meant Stout’s career was done. Fifteen years of writing still lay ahead of him, including two of his most highly regarded Nero Wolfe novels, DEATH OF A DOXY (1966) and A FAMILY AFFAIR (1975). When Stout passed away at the age of 88, the Nero Wolfe series consisted of 77 titles, including novels, novellas, and short stories. Stout scholar and biographer John McAleer has described the Nero Wolfe mysteries as “an epic that ultimately would encompass more than ten thousand pages.” No wonder, as the 20th century drew to a close, that mystery and detective writers and aficionados at Bouchercon XXXI in September of 2000 nominated Rex Stout for Writer of the Century and the Nero Wolfe mysteries as Series of the Century. From the publication of FER-DE-LANCE, the first Nero Wolfe novel in 1934, the Wolfe mysteries have always been a unique blend of golden age whodunit and hardboiled crime.

  • Nero Wolfe, Rex Stout, the Language, and the Law
    NERO WOLFE, REX STOUT, THE LANGUAGE, AND THE LAW Ira Brad Matetsky† More than one person has noted a seeming irony of devoting a themed issue of The Green Bag Almanac and Reader, a compilation of the year’s best legal writing, to the Nero Wolfe novels and stories of Rex Stout. After all, one of Mr. Wolfe’s most strongly held views is his oft-expressed disdain for almost all lawyers and the work that they do. In reality, however, both Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Stout share with many lawyers, law teachers, and judges an admiration for fine use of the English language — the celebration of which is the reason The Green Bag Almanac and Reader was created. And both Wolfe and Stout were ready to use the law when it suited their purposes. An attentive reader of the Nero Wolfe novels would correctly conclude that Stout and his creation had at least a general familiar- ity with the law and lawyers. One Wolfe novel, Murder by the Book, and one novella, “Eeny Meeny Murder Moe,” have plots centered on the affairs of law firms; another novella, “The Next Witness,”1 contains two memorable courtroom scenes. Throughout the Cor- pus, Wolfe displays a knowledge of basic legal precepts, or at least knows how to obtain information about the law when he needs it; for example, in The Rubber Band, Wolfe advises clients that a legal claim they might wish to assert has “expired by time” under the statute of limitations, while in “Immune to Murder” he accurately quotes federal and New York State statutes governing diplomatic immunity, and in “Before I Die,” he tests a law student’s knowledge of the law by deliberately misusing a legal term to test whether the student will notice.

  • Wolfe Pack -- Official Site of the Nero Wolfe Society
    Wolfe Pack -- Official Site of the Nero Wolfe Society A&E Isn’t Just Crying Wolfe THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS | GENE AMOLE | MARCH 7, 2000 I spent my Sunday night couch potatoing two wonderful television programs. The first was A&E's The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Mystery. The second was USA's La Femme Nikita, which one critic described as "zombie-chic." ... Pure fantasy, but I love it. It's darkly stylish and superbly filmed. But the main attraction Sunday for me was The Golden Spiders. I was wary about it because other attempts to put Nero Wolfe mysteries on film have failed miserably. True, I had always expected a great deal because I had read every one of Rex Todhunter Stout's Nero Wolfe mysteries. Some snotty critics say mysteries aren't literature. "Pfui," as the corpulent detective would say. If you're a Nero Wolfe fan, you know he lived in an opulent four-story brownstone mansion in New York that he rarely left. Archie Goodwin was his legman. Fritz was his cook. His favorite color was yellow, carried out in his pajamas, the sheets on his bed and the leather upholstery on his massive chair. You would also know he raised 10,000 orchids in his rooftop greenhouse. He was a gourmand addicted to beer and also was an unapologizing sexist who would never put up with "flummery" from anyone. He solved mysteries by gathering suspects in his office and naming the killer so Inspector Cramer could arrest the culprit. I went into mourning when Stout died in 1975 at age 88.
