Rex Stout, โThe Gun with Wingsโ
โThe weapon told a grim tale of murder, masked as a suicide . . . but, to prove it, Nero Wolfe had to explain how a gun could flyโ
*The American Magazine*, December 1949

Rex Stoutโs prose is so smooth and stylish that I no longer think of his writing โvoice.โ Instead, I think of his flow.

I had a chance to check out 7 Rex Stout Nero Wolfe novels at the library yesterday and I blew it.

Today is the birthday of Rex Stout, American author of the celebrated Nero Wolfe detective novels. In addition to his work as a writer, he was active in the ACLU, and was a founder of the Vanguard Press. #RexStout #๐๐ #Booksky
December 1 is the birthday of author #RexStout who we #quote and back with a picture of a recent #Fallbrook #sunset. If this #quotograph speaks to you, please repost it.
๐ Happy Birthday to #RexStout, born in 1886, creator of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. He saw detective fiction as democratic, exposing guilt and defending innocence. He challenged genre elitism, called mysteries โnourishment,โ and believed reason restores justice. #CrimeFiction
โThe #detective in this series is almost a pastiche of #SherlockHolmes, but what makes it so brilliant is that #RexStout merged the classic British #mystery with the American #hard-boiled.โ fivebooks.com/best-books/2... #books #BookSky #detectivenovels
As true Today, as when he wrote it.

"Third, I understand the technique of eccentricity; it would be futile for a man to labor at establishing a reputation for oddity if he were ready at the slightest provocation to revert to normal action."

Paperback and hardcover designs of the Nero Wolfe novel. The paperback has him in his brownstone rooftop orchid garden and the orchid theme dominates the hardback copy.
Sherlock Holmes got me into reading, and when I was younger I devoured every detective novel I could find. Then, one day, my grandmother gave me a Nero Wolfe book by Rex Stout. It blew me away. And started my life addiction to Nero Wolfe.
