  • LAST of the NOVELLAS Data Gathered During the Wolfe Pack Expedition to the Rex Stout Archives at Boston College July 6, 7, 8, 9, 2011
    LAST OF THE NOVELLAS Data Gathered During the Wolfe Pack Expedition to the Rex Stout Archives at Boston College July 6, 7, 8, 9, 2011 Murder is Corny is the second from the last of the 38* novellas that Stout wrote. It is the only one not published in a magazine prior to publication in a hardbound anthology. Below are copies of a correspondence exchange between Rex Stout and Marshall Best, who handled Rex' manuscripts at Viking for a number of years. These specific four letters shed light on the fate of this category of fiction. Stout was one of the major authors writing novelettes or novellas which are distinctly different lengths than either novels or short stories. Mr. Stout referred to them as novelettes, but they are almost always referred to as novellas today. There are number of varying guidelines for the word count for various categories of fiction. One guideline is: Classification Word count Novel over 40,000 words Novella 17,500 to 40,000 words Novelette 7,500 to 17,500 words Short story under 7,500 words The four letters below were copied from the Rex Stout Archives and refer to the last two novella collections: Trio for Blunt Instruments and Homicide Trinity. Rex Stout, not only a top-notch writer, but a financial genius, started writing novellas as war-support activities took more and more of his time: he could write them more quickly than a novel and sell them twice: once to a magazine and again as a hardbound anthology of 2-4 stories.

  • Nero Wolfe Series-Season1 Music Commentary
    Nero Wolfe Series-Season1 Music Commentary A & E TV SERIES Season 1 Music by Nadine Bandler The first use of non-original music for the series is in The Doorbell Rang. Only one song is used, "La Donna e mobile", from Rigoletto by Verdi. This is an aria about the fickleness of women, which subject has nothing to do with the storyline. The song is presumably being played on the radio as background noise used to cover the brownstone goings-on in case the F.B.I. is listening in. Certain pieces of so-called "classical" music go through phases of popularity, just as other music and forms of art do. A lot of the pieces in the series are ones that would have been perhaps a little overexposed and familiar to the general populace during the 1950s, the time frame of most of the shows. This is one of them. So it is fitting that it should be a random radio selection. Other pieces used in the series are more obscure and apparently fitted to the situation, as I'll note later, individually. Starting with Champagne for One, the choice of music begins to get quite creative. The use of "Jazz Suite No. 2 (Suite for Promenade Orchestra.): VI Waltz 2" by Dmitri Shostakovich makes the introductory sequence wonderfully memorable and it is delightful to hear it again later in the show as actual dance music. Is it my imagination or does this tune have slightly sinister undertones? This makes it all the more suitable. Note that this waltz was also used in the movie Eyes Wide Shut.

  • 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 (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.

  • A Chronology of Crimes ~ Rt R by Stephen F
    • • TheJournal of The Wolfe Pack • Premier Issue Winterl979 ~ I· A Chronology of Crimes ~ rt r By Stephen F. Schultheis and ij Patricia A. Dreyfus ~; PINPOINTING THE TIME of death is a routine part of any murder investi­ gation, yet for chroniclers of the Nero Wolfe stories, it is often easier to identify the hour of death than the year. Careful readers will note a number of dis­ crepancies, for example, when they compare the dates given by WilliamS. Baring-Gould in Nero Wolfe of West Thirtyfifth Street with accounts of events by fictional characters or by actual newspapers. The circumstances involving Hickory Caesar Grind on [CAES], for instance, : must have occurred in September 1937, not September 1938 as Baring-Gould , says. When Wolfe solved the case in [LEAG], which could not have taken place ' any later than November 1934 since it saw magazine publication in June-July ' 19'35, Archie had been working for him and living in the old brownstone for seven years. At the time of the affair of [BAND] (October 1935), Archie had ·been with Wolfe for eight years. In other words, their association must have · begun in 1927. Thus when Archie remarks in [CAES] that he has been study­ ing Wolfe's face for ten years, there is consistent evidence for dating the case no later than 1937. Once we have the correct date for [CAES], we can properly place both [bult] and [inst] in October 1944. In [bult] Archie says of Lily Rowan, whom he meets for the first time in [CAES] that he "had only known her seven years." :.

In this fully illustrated book Ethan explains what autism means to him and why he feels so very blessed that God made him this way. I have no gripes with this book as its presented. Its pretty cool that an 8 year old wrote this about himself!However, for the purposes that many buyers are looking for, introducing their autistic children to understanding themselves, there are better books. This book really is just Ethans Story, as billed. Its very specific - talks about his sensory vests and how hes good at math and knows the name of all the states. Its very tailored to Ethan.If youre looking for a book to help kids understand themselves, I would therefore go with the more broad book Autism is...? by Ymkje Wideman-van der Laan. That book also focused more on the positive of autism that most all kids experience, while also addressing differences in a non-stigmatizing way.In short, good story, but for the purposes there is a better one out there.
