Rex Stout, โ€œThe Gun with Wingsโ€
โ€˜The 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 Stoutโ€™s prose is so smooth and stylish that I no longer think of his writing โ€œvoice.โ€ Instead, I think of his flow.

๐ŸŽ‰ 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 โ€œnourishment,โ€ and believed reason restores justice. #CrimeFiction

I am slowly acquiring the Nero Wolfe โ€œCorpusโ€ of books. This arrived today. Hopefully I can (1) read it before the next Wolfe Pack book club meeting, and (2) snag an online spot at said meeting. Pfui! #books #RexStout #NeroWolfe #bookclub

"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."

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.
