120 Years Ago Today



Rex Stout, one of masters of detective fiction in the golden age, was born 120 years ago this day in 1886. As the creator of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin he has earned a permanent place in the detective fiction pantheon.

There are any number of sites devoted to Stout and his fiction. Start with Wikipedia to give you an overview here. This site gives an annotated Nero Wolfe bibliography. The Wolfe Pack is for the truly committed. And there are links on enough on all three of those pages to take you through the weekend.
