Overseas Fan Sites

  • The first Russian web site devoted to Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin and Rex Stout is at http://nerowolfe.ru/. It even has a page with information about The Wolfe Pack. [Thank you Stanislav (aka Chuchundrovich), webmaster]
  • Lutz-R ü diger Busse brings us The Gazette from Braunschweig Germany, with the emphasis on character development and the characters. It also has reviews.
  • Another German site has a Wolfe parody: "Cäsar Bär" (Bär= Bear)
  • NERO WOLFE & THE TOFF An unusual site with unusual cover art from Nero Wolfe books published in France prior to 1950.
  • Avenarius' Stout Site is newly revised, redesigned, and expanded.  Don't miss this Slovakian site -- in perfect English.  Stop here for a priceless collection of some of Stout's other works of genius -- full text of non-Wolfe writings (from the "pulp fiction" days) and of the "Watson was a Woman" speech, and the audio (MP3 format) of the full audio of the "Information, Please" radio quiz show on which Rex Stout was a guest.  And LOTS of great links.  Of course, Montenegro is not so very far from Slovakia.
  • Czech Bibliography of Stout (in Czech)
  • Abelard's Nero Wolfe Pages Extensive quotes and analysis of the psychology of the corpus. Very unusual site, purportedly from Mongolia, but possibly from Ireland.
  • ANOTHER Finnish Site devoted to Wolfe Bibliography, translations of the Finnish publications of the books and their book covers.
  • An Italian Nero Wolfe site The Italian side of Nero Wolfe, including pictures from the TV series made for Italian television in 1969 featuring Italian actors (wolfe looks remarkably like (but NOT) Marcello Mastroianni), pictures of a NW comic strip, and other fascinating stuff. (Loads somewhat slowly, but worth the wait!.)
  • Fantastic Fiction -- A UK site with Stout's section featuring a bibliographic listing, book cover art work, and short synopses.
  • A Dutch site of Stout's Bibliography
