Rex Stout (1886–1975)
Auteur de Fer-de-Lance
A propos de l'auteur
Author Rex Stout was born on December 1, 1886. A child prodigy with a gift for mathematics, Stout drifted as he became an adult, holding odd jobs in many places---cook, cabinetmaker, bellhop, hotel manager, salesman, bookkeeper, and even a guide in a pueblo. But his true talent lay in storytelling; afficher plus he sold his first story, about William Howard Taft, in 1912. His most famous creation is Nero Wolfe, a 286-pound detective genius who, with sidekick Archie Goodwin, can often solve a case without leaving his room. It is the way in which the puzzle is solved that intrigues Nero Wolfe, who is much like Sherlock Holmes in his ability to use deductive reasoning. More than 60 million copies (in 24 languages) of Stout's books have been sold. Stout writes quickly, drawing upon a lifetime of impressions. He neither uses an outline nor revises; he lets his characters take over as the story develops. The classy, erudite Nero Wolfe presents for readers an alternative to the hard-boiled branch of the genre. He died on October 27, 1975 (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Critiques
In the belief that his youngest daughter’s boyfriend is a member of the Communist Party, a wealthy businessman hires Nero Wolfe to find proof of this affiliation before his daughter does something rash like marrying him. Before long, the boyfriend is dead, and Wolfe is looking for a murderer. This case once again brings Wolfe into contact with a mysterious mob boss that Wolfe refers to as X, and also as the only person he is afraid of.
This book would have been timely in its day since it was published just as the “red scare” was getting underway. It hasn’t aged well, and it has more the air of sensation than the sophisticated wit I’ve come to expect from Stout.… (plus d'informations)

Anche grazie a questo espediente, la trama raramente perde di mordente o si impalla in balletti deduttivi troppo astratti o di difficile rappresentazione.
Non vedo l’ora di approcciare altre avventure del duo.
