Omschrijving

Even if you're a mystery fan you may not be aware of Earl Derr Biggers. Had his career not been cut short by an early death, Biggers would rank in the pantheon of American mystery writers, not just for his mastery of setting and character, but also for his creation of Charlie Chan - a figure beloved around the world during the 1920s and 1930s.
Charlie Chan's Poppa: Earl Derr Biggers satisfies both mystery lovers and biography lovers in multiple ways.

It brings Biggers and his frustrating writing problems to life.

It analyzes the six Chan novels, introducing readers to their unexpected characters and plots.

It shows readers that Chan was developed as a Hawaiian-Chinese detective, a highly respected member of the Honolulu Police Department

It traces Biggers' development from a middle brow romance novelist to a serious mystery writer.

If you don't already know it, you will see how different the Chan of the novels is from the stereotyped Chan that Hollywood created. And if you're like other readers suddenly introduced to Biggers and his Chan novels, you will become a satisfied fan.

Had Biggers not died at the age of 49, he would most likely have written a Chan novel every year or two, and mystery fans today would have thirty or forty books to enjoy. But that was not to be.

Charlie Chan's Poppa will delight you with a look into the life of a writer - a writer who, without knowing it, created a character who would become world famous.
