Synopsis

Wolfe Studies: Essays and Critical Reviews is written to start verbal fistfights and maybe settle a few.  It is an uncompromising, no-holds-barred critical look at various portrayals of and approaches to Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin, and company, from films of the 1930s to television in the twenty-first century, and more.  Based on dedicated research into the attitudes, opinions, and statements of actors, authors, directors, critics, readers, writers, and viewers, Wolfe Studies undertakes a clear-eyed observation behind the curtain at what, why, and how these characters are presented.  You might even come to want to take a verbal swing at the author yourself.  You’ll like it.  Or hate it.  Or both.  It is a must-read for the Nero Wolfe devotee.  “In an ever more homogenized world, both real and fictional, Wolfe and Goodwin are not just different from each other; they remain exceptional from everything else.”
