The rest of this is my original review: I'd heard good things about Rex Stout, but must admit I was rather disappointed with this book, the first in his classic series about overweight detective Nero Wolfe and his sidekick Archie Goodwin. Fer-de-lance specialize in hunting warm blooded prey such as rodents and birds. For instance in the Pacific area, they partner from September to November, and females give birth between April and June. There is no Inspector Cramer. What Does a Fer de Lance eat? That's just cheap. I was never so relieved in my life as when the guy shot himself an hour later. He goes out and interviews suspects and collects facts for Nero. I loved Wolfe so I might be back however the overall result is pretty mixed so it won't be a priority. Biome Tropical coniferous forests. Wolfe is very much like the spider in the centre of a web — he makes deductions, sends Archie — and sometimes a group of other men he uses — to complete his legwork and is generally seen by all as a maverick genius. The actual crime itself was a little long winded and overly complicated at times, but I certainly enjoyed the characters and would be happy to re-visit Nero Wolfe again and will continue reading the series. Some individuals may have a yellow zig-zag-shaped line on each side of the body. However, Nero is too corpulent and immobile to be the true hero of the story.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
