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.

Twentieth Century Paperbacks Collection MSS 219 3.5 Linear Feet
Twentieth Century Paperbacks Collection MSS 219 3.5 linear feet Background Writing in Hardboiled America: The Lurid Years of Paperbacks, Geoffrey O’Brien summarizes the rise of the modern American paperback book: Cheap reprints and books bound in paper arose and flourished sporadically in America from the nineteenth century onwards. Although most of these were purely commercial efforts, a significant percentage were associated with a zeal for bringing culture to the masses. Nevertheless, and despite the obvious practicality of cheap mass printing, no one had been able to give that kind of publishing any permanence until June 19th, 1939, when the first ten releases of Pocket Books saw the light of day. Robert DeGraff, the company’s founder, may have been influenced by the success of Penguin Books, which had begun publishing several years earlier in England (33). Commenting on the cover art, Mr. O’Brien wrote: What surprises in the end is how much of paperback art of the Forties and Fifties conveys a sense of reality and a warmth of emotion. Even the fantasies have a homespun texture, and the most unreal of them are brought down to earth, if only by the crudeness of their execution. Today’s spell-casters have more elaborate tools at their disposal for imparting a magical aura to the every more efficient packaging. The success story of the media has culminated in a kind of computerized aesthetics not programmed for loose ends, in which considerations like corporate image and demographics are part of every image. When the bright lights and synthesized soundtracks of today’s conglomerate marketing merge into a single vast blur, it is comforting to rest a while in the clear lines of the ramshackle porch on the cover of Erskine Caldwell’s Journeyman, or to sit with Studs Lonigan in the park on a warm summer night.

Semi-Private Eyes
Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1982 Volume I: Society and the Detective Novel Semi-Private Eyes Curriculum Unit 82.01.05 by Anthony F. Franco Benny sits in the cafeteria, opens his carton of milk, and prepares to devour his government-subsidized fried chicken. Within moments several other boys join him with their lunch trays at the table. A few minutes later there are no less than six other boys and several girls jockeying for position at the now crowded table. Benny is captain of the basketball team, good-looking, well-mannered, and adequately intelligent. His popularity is well-deserved. He is adored by students and well-liked by his teachers. Benny will say very little at the table today. The conversation concerns the school’s basketball game of the previous afternoon. Should he agree with the jabbering analysis, it will be looked upon as formal certiﬁcation of all that transpires. If he should disagree with the minutest detail concerning the game, the conversation will immediately take a diﬀerent turn. Benny uses his foils well. Tricia is an extremely attractive co-ed at the same school as Benny. Tricia has attained academic honors throughout the year. Each morning a crowd of students surrounds Tricia’s desk as she brushes her hair and freshens her makeup. Throughout the day Tricia is never unaccompanied to class. Her usual companions are a bevy of other girls who do not approach Tricia’s appearance or intelligence. These same girls usually sit near Tricia in her classes and are attentive to every word she says.

Nobody Who Claims to Be a Competent Critic Can Say That Rex Stout Does Not Write Well
"Nobody who claims to be a competent critic can say that Rex Stout does not write well. His narra tive and dialogue could not be improved, and he passes the supreme test of being rereadable. I don't know how many times I have reread the Nero Wolfe stories, but plenty. I know exactly what is coming and how it is all going to end, but it doesn't matter. That's wnting. " - P. G. WODEHOUSE S FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, we could end this arti cle right here. I can't think of any higher praise or better explanation of the enduring appeal of an author's work than having another of the great lit eraryA stylists of the Twentieth century italicize it as wnt ing. P. G. Wodehouse wasn't Rex Stout's only fan among the literati. William Faulkner read Stout. So did Kings ley Amis, Ian Fleming, Agatha Christie, E . B. White, Vincent Starrett and M . F. K . Fisher. Bernard de Voto was a friend and fan, as was Robert Sherwood. When Oliver Wendell Holmes died, his copy of Stout's first mystery, Fer-de-Lance, was found to have the Justice's handwritten notation in its margins: "This fellow is the best of them all." Is there anything more that needs saying about Rex Stout? Yes, as it turns out, there's quite a lot. And some of it is bound to surprise you. If the full extent of your knowledge of Stout is that he created the detective duo of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, then hold on to your hat.

December 1' 19 65 Ji1 F/J~ F!7~ W REX STOUT
December 1' 19 65 Ji1 f/J~ f!7~ w REX STOUT by JACQUES BARZUN and THE VIKING PRESS December 1) 1965 ABOUT REX STOUT by Jacques Barzun cannot speak about debts of honor, but debts of pleasure I are a delight to pay; and it is in pursuit of this selfish in dulgence that I unburden myself of a few thoughts about a writer whose stories have given me pleasure for a third of a century. If he had done nothing more than to create Archie Good win, Rex Stout would deserve the gratitude of whatever assessors watch over the prosperity of American literature. For surely Archie is one of the folk heroes in which the modern American temper can see itself transfigured. Archie is the lineal descendant of Huck Finn, with the additions that worldliness has brought to the figure of the young savior. Archie is cynical but an idealist. He is of easy ap proach, simple speech, and simple manners, but he makes the sharpest, subtlest discriminations in his judgments of status, speech, looks, and clothes. He drinks milk, but can describe and savor haute cuisine like any freshly made aristo crat. He is body-proud and ready to knock any man down who disobeys Robert's Rules of Order-indeed he is not averse to clutching women by the elbow or the neck when they claim an equal right with men to disturb the committee work COPYRIGHT© 1965 BY THE VIKING PRESS, INC. that goes on so tirelessly in Nero Wolfe's big room; yet ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
