Plot It Yourself (British title Murder in Style ) is a Nero Wolfe detective novel by Rex Stout, published by the Viking Press in 1959, and also collected in the omnibus volume Kings Full of Aces (Viking 1969). Nero Wolfe is a fictional character, a brilliant, oversized, eccentric armchair detective created in 1934 by American mystery writer Rex Stout. Wolfe was born in Montenegro and keeps his past murky. He lives in a luxurious brownstone on West 35th Street in New York City, and he is loath to leave his home for business or anything that would keep him from reading his books, tending his orchids, or eating the gourmet meals prepared by his chef, Fritz Brenner. Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's sharp-witted, dapper young confidential assistant with an eye for attractive women, narrates the cases and does the legwork for the detective genius. Rex Todhunter Stout was an American writer noted for his detective fiction. His best-known characters are the detective Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin, who were featured in 33 novels and 39 novellas between 1934 and 1975. Viking Press is an American publishing company now owned by Penguin Random House. It was founded in New York City on March 1, 1925, by Harold K. Guinzburg and George S. Oppenheim and then acquired by the Penguin Group in 1975. Contents. Plot introduction Plot summary Cast of characters Reviews and commentary Publication history References External links. Plot introduction. A group of authors and publishers hires Nero Wolfe to investigate a series of plagiarism claims. Wolfe, by his own admission, bungles the investigation so badly that three murders result. In Plot It Yourself , Stout draws on his lengthy experience with book publishers, with authors (via, for example, his presidency of the Authors Guild), and with the writing process itself. Apart from the series' continuing characters, all the players in the book are directly associated with the publishing industry. Stout adds as subtext his take on the peculiar relationship between book authors and book publishers — part symbiosis, part animosity. Stout himself experienced at least one instance of contentious relations with his publishers. [1] The Authors Guild is America's oldest and largest professional organization for writers and provides advocacy on issues of free expression and copyright protection. Since its founding in 1912 as the Authors League of America , it has counted among its board members notable authors of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, including numerous winners of the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes and National Book Awards. It has over 9,000 members, who receive free legal advice and guidance on contracts with publishers as well as insurance services and assistance with subsidiary licensing and royalties. Plot summary. Someone has been getting away with a different spin on plagiarism. It's the old scam – an unsuccessful author stealing ideas from an established source – but it's being worked differently. Now, the plagiarists are claiming that the well-known authors are stealing from them (as Wolfe puts it, "plagiarism upside down." [2] ). And they are making their claims stick: three successful claims in four years, one awaiting trial, and one that's just been made. These claims have damaged both the publishers and the authors. The

  • 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).

  • {PDF EPUB} the First Rex Stout Omnibus Featuring Nero
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The First Rex Stout Omnibus Featuring Nero Wolfe And Archie Goodwin The Doorbell Rang The Second The First Rex Stout Omnibus: Featuring Nero Wolfe And Archie Goodwin: " The Doorbell Rang " " The Second Confession " And " More Deaths Than One " by Rex Stout. TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne. American author, who wrote over 70 detective novels, 46 of them featuring eccentric, chubby, beer drinking gourmet sleuth Nero Wolfe, whose wisecracking aide and right hand assistant in crime solving was Archie Goodwin. Stout began his literary career by writing for pulp magazines, publishing romance, adventure, some borderline detective stories. After 1938 he focused solely on the mystery field. Rex Stout was born in Noblesville, Indiana, the son of John Wallace Stout and Lucetta Elizabeth Todhunter. They both were Quakers. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Wakarusa, Kansas. Stout was educated at Topeka High School, and at University of Kansas, Lawrence, which he left to enlist in the Navy. From 1906 to 1908 he served as a Yeoman on President Theodore Roosevelt's yacht. The following years Stout spent writing freelance articles and working in odd jobs – as an office boy, store clerk, bookkeeper, and hotel manager. With his brother he invented an astonishing savings plans, the Educational Thrift Service, for school children. The system was installed in 400 cities throughout the USA, earning Stout about $400,000 and making him financially secure. In 1916 Stout married Fay Kennedy of Topeka, Kansas. They separated in 1931 – according to a story, she eloped with a Russian commissar – and Stout married Pola Hoffman, a fabric designer.

  • REX STOUT's NERO WOLFE NOVELLAS by Robert J
    REX STOUT'S NERO WOLFE NOVELLAS by Robert J. Schneider (www.speedymystery.com/rex-stouts-nero-wolfe-novellas.html) Rex Stout wrote thirty-three novel-length Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin adventures beginning with 1934's Fer-de-Lance and ending with 1975's A Family Affair. Perhaps not as widely known, he also wrote thirty-eight (or forty-one, depending on how you choose to classify re-writes/re-adaptions) novella-length cases featuring his famous detecting duo. The novella string began with "Bitter End" in 1940 and concluded with "Blood Will Tell" and "Murder Is Corny" in late 1963/early 1964. The novellas were geared to magazine publication where Stout serendipitously discovered a lucrative market. The American Magazine, which had published seven of Stout's first nine Wolfe novel-length adventures to that date, offered to double his usual fee if he would convert his recently completed Tecumseh Fox novel into a Nero Wolfe story. Stout, the reading public and various magazine publishers were so pleased with the result that Stout wrote forty more novella length adventures over the next twenty-three years. That Stout could dash off a Wolfe novella in days or weeks as opposed to months for a Wolfe novel certainly must have added to the charms of the shorter format for him. Stout was fortunate that a high-paying slick-paper magazine market lasted for so many years. By the early 1960's that market was beginning to dry up and, at about the same time, the quality of Stout's novella writing was falling into a tailspin.

  • The Gazette -- Not Too Many Clients
    The Gazette -- Not Too Many Clients Not Too Many Clients By Evelyn Herzog ONCE, WHEN ASKED whom Wolfe was working for on an investigation, Archie Goodwin facetiously remarks: "There is never any question about that. He is working first, last and all the time, for Wolfe." The range of Wolfe's reasons for taking on a case is nearly as broad as his girth. Honor, affection, appetite and envy are only some of the possible motives that propel him into action and sometimes out of his house. Wolfe himself would be among the last to admit this. He avers that he adopted the profession of detective because of his desire to earn enough to live in "acceptable circumstances." Despite this claim and Archie's frequent statements that only the lure of the lucre can get Wolfe to work, actually less than half of Wolfe's recorded cases are undertaken on behalf of a regular paying client. Wolfe's affectations and affections, even more than his avarice, can engage his interest in a case and command his services. There have been many admirable causes, and some ludicrous ones, which have induced Wolfe to bring his massive intellect to bear on cases which he would have shunned for mere money. Ironically, the cases which Wolfe takes up "for love" typically require much more adroitness than ordinary business because in them Wolfe's aims are generally more complicated than simply providing a solution. He must, for example, solve the case while simultaneously keeping himself or Archie out of jail, protecting himself and his associates from a killer's venge-ance, keeping himself out of the witness box in a crowded courtroom, shielding from public scrutiny any sottise he or his clients have committed, arranging for adequate punishment of a killer despite inadequate legal evidence, or blacking the eyes of the police, district attorney or F.B.I.
