His genius hero Nero Wolfe, weighing in at one-seventh of a ton, was featured in more than 70 novels and novellas with his wise-cracking hard-boiled assistant and amanuensis Archie Goodwin. Besides being a great story teller, however, Stout was a staunch left-wing anti-Communist, a political position that found its way into Stout's plots (and Nero Wolfe's dialogue). So it is surprising that the Wolfe novels were published-and popular-in the Soviet Union. In this study, Molly Jane Levine Zuckerman traces Stout's popularity in Russia, both during and since Communism, explores Stout's influence on Russian \u003ci\u003edetectiv\u003c\/i\u003e writers, and attempts to explain why Rex Stout-and Nero Wolfe-flourished on both sides of the Iron Curtain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Molly Zuckerman tackles a mystery worthy of Nero Wolfe-why the Russians loved him.
