Rex Stout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Rex Todhunter Stout December 1 October 27 ) was an American author best known as the creator of the larger-than-life fictional detective Nero Wolfe . Stout was born in Noblesville, Indiana, but shortly after that his Quaker parents (John Wallace Stout and Lucetta Elizabeth Todhunter Stout) moved their family (nine children in all) to Kansas. His father was a teacher who encouraged his son to read, and Rex had read the entire Bible twice by the time he was 4 years old. At the age of 13 he was the state spelling-bee champion. He served two years in the U.S. Navy (as a yeoman on President Teddy Roosevelt 's official yacht) and then spent about four years working at about thirty different jobs (in six states), including cigar store clerk, while he sold poems, stories, and articles to various magazines. It was not his writing but his invention of a school banking system in about 1916 that gave him enough money to travel in Europe extensively. (About 400 U.S. schools adopted his system for keeping track of the money school children saved in accounts at school, and he was paid royalties.) In Paris in 1929 he wrote his first book, How Like a God . After writing three more successful novels, he returned to the U.S. and began writing detective stories. The first one was

Author Information for Rex Stout
There is just NO way to review each of these books individually. Rex Stout wrote for over 40 years. Suffice it to say that Rex Stout [for me] is right up there with Erle Stanley Gardner, but instead of Perry Mason's Della Street, Nero Wolfe has his Archie Goodwin [personal secretary and assistant]. Since Wolfe RARELY leaves his home and his orchids, it is Goodwin's job to round up the clues, the suspects, and Inspector Cramer to arrest the perpetrator. At several hundred pounds, Wolf is a true "arm-chair detective", who hates to work, but enjoys the money he earns. These are classics in the world of mystery writers. Robert Goldsborough took over the series after Rex Stout's death, and continued in Stout's style. The entire series is timeless, and they are worth watching for in used book stores, if you can't find them on a shelf! Homepage: NONE.

    78. Authors And Creators: Rex Stout
    Notquite-Ready-for-Prime-Time Department. Authors and Creators rex stout (1886-1975). NERO WOLFE Written by John Broome (credited to rex stout) Artist Mike Roy.
    http://www.thrillingdetective.com/trivia/rex_stout.html
    Not-quite-Ready-for-Prime-Time Department Authors and Creators
    Rex Stout
    "Compose yourself, Archie. Why taunt me? Why upbraid me? I am merely a genius, not a god."
    Nero Wolfe humbly confesses, in Fer-de-Lance. At first glance, Rex Stout's NERO WOLFE might seem out of place among the hard-bitten, world-weary, pavement-pounding P.I.s that this site is usually devoted to. Massively overweight, a cranky, agoraphobic and sedentary gourmet who virtually never leaves his Manhattan brownstone, Wolfe is, in nearly every sense, an armchair detective. And yet, Stout provided a real shot in the arm to the then-fledgling genre when he published his first Nero wolfe novel in 1934. Wolfe and his investigator/bodyguard/secretary ARCHIE GOODWIN are just as much "eyes" as their predecessors Holmes and Watson Over Wolfe's 40-year literary lifespan (with several additional adventures written by Robert Goldsborough in the 1980s), the fat genius and his sharp-eyed (and smart-mouthed) assistant bring down murderers, blackmailers, wartime traitors, and even (on one memorable occasion) leave J. Edgar Hoover out in the snow. These are men who make a good living at a difficult and dangerous business, not minor lords or churchmen who just happened to be at the garden party when the butler was stabbed. Rex Stout was born in Indiana in 1886 to Quaker parents and raised in Kansas and, by most accounts, was quite the precocious child, reading the Bible cover to cover (twice!) before he was four, and becoming state spelling champion at the age of thirteen. After a brief time at Kansas University, joined the navy, and served on President Roosevelt's yacht from 1906 to 1908. He worked as a bookkeeper, a salesman, hotel manager and store clerk, while trying to crack the pulps, cranking out tales of science fiction, romance and adventure. Ever practical, Stout teamed up with his brother, and established a business whose success would enable him to continue with his writing.

    Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin
    Created by Rex Stout
    "Compose yourself, Archie. Why taunt me? Why upbraid me? I am merely a genius, not a god."
    Nero Wolfe humbly confesses, in Fer-de-Lance. At first glance, Rex Stout's NERO WOLFE might seem out of place among the hard-bitten, world-weary, pavement-pounding P.I.s that this site is usually devoted to. Massively overweight (somewhere between 1/6th and 1/7th ton), a cranky, agoraphobic and sedentary gourmet who virtually never leaves his Manhattan brownstone (with ten thousand orchids on the roof and a personal elevator), Wolfe is, in nearly every sense, an armchair detective. And yet... Nero Wolfe and his investigator/bodyguard/secretary ARCHIE GOODWIN are just as much "eyes" as their predecessors Holmes and Watson Over Wolfe's 40-year literary lifespan (with several additional adventures written by Robert Goldsborough in the 1980s), the fat genius and his sharp-eyed (and smart-mouthed) assistant bring down murderers, blackmailers, wartime traitors, and even (on one memorable occasion) leave J. Edgar Hoover out in the snow. These are men who make a good living at a difficult and dangerous business, not minor lords or churchmen who happened to be at the garden party when the butler was stabbed. Wolfe himself, though temperamental as an opera tenor, unable to work without a steady supply of beer (Remmers, preferably, or his own homebrew) and so indolent that he considers playing pool or darts 'exercise', constantly exhibits the classic P.I.'s blend of cynicism, mercenary instinct and romanticism (though he would certainly admit to only the first two and adamantly deny the third, particularly where women are concerned). Over the years, Stout gave hints ­ but usually no more than hints ­ of Wolfe's younger days, all of which suggest that Wolfe was himself a man of action once, and very much ruled by his passions. (Wolfe gave this away in explaining his present size and lifestyle: "I carry this fat to insulate my feelings. They got too strong for me once or twice...If I had stayed lean and kept moving around I would have been dead long ago.")
