Synopsis

Edited by Francis M. Nevins Harry Stephen Keeler didn't just write wacky webwork mysteries -- he lived a webwork life! Especially in the days after his wife Hazel died Harry was rabid about sending out hundreds of newsletters he called "Keyholes" to special people on his extraordinary mailing list. Thanks to one person who received -- and kept -- every Keyhole ever produced, Mike Nevins was able to edit and annotate them, placing the rants into categories like Writers, Publishers, Spain, Hazel, Thelma, Jews, Capitalism, Religion, Metaphysics, and of course, Kats. The book is huge -- 438 pages in a large, easy-to-read trade paperback edition. You'll learn more about Keeler the man by reading this book than you'll ever learn by reading his weird mysteries. Every Keeler library needs this book as its capstone!

À propos de l?auteur

Harry Stephen Keeler was called "one of the greatest alternative writers" by Bill Pronzini. He wrote over 90 novels between the years 1912 and his death in 1967 and thanks to Francis M. Nevins' research all of them are in print today by Ramble House. He wrote like no one else. His mysteries are twisted, surprising, erudite (to the point of humor) and logical -- if you live in Keelerland. About 20 of his later novels were never published in English (or at all for about a dozen) until recently. His astonishing plotting techniques had gone out of style when Mickey Spillane and rough writing swept the publishing world in the late 40s but these days Keeler's writing fits right in. It's as if Neil Gaiman, Thomas Pynchon and David Foster Wallace grew up on him -- and maybe they did?
