Description
This program will not be recorded.
Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe, the orchid-fancying, seventh-of-a-ton gourmand, is America's most famous armchair detective. He solves murders along with his leg man Archie Goodwin, the best narrator in American fiction since Huckleberry Finn. The "King of Crimebusters" will investigate and discuss three of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe novels, one collection of his short stories, and a single story published in American Magazine, all designed to see how one detective can use his genius to identify murderers without leaving the comfort of his home.
The National Resource Center for Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes (Osher NRC) is offering this presentation in collaboration with Northwestern University School of Professional Studies.
