Nero Wolfe Author, Goldsborough, Wins Meaningless Readers’ Choice Award

Nero Wolfe Author, Goldsborough, Wins Readers’ Choice Award

Bzzt. Mr. Goldsborough is going too far in wrapping himself in the shroud of Nero Wolfe. I’ve read all of Rex Stout’s incomparable Nero Wolfe novels, and I’ve read a couple of Goldsborough’s sharecropped follow-ons, and, in the words of Lloyd Bentsen to Dan Quayle, Robert Goldsborough, you’re no Rex Stout.

Sorry to rain on your parade, fella, but you are really getting on the nerves of some of us who love and revere Rex Stout. Your PR firm ought to dial it back.
