Extractions: BIO Robert B. Parker has long been acknowledged as the dean of American crime fiction. His novel featuring the wise-cracking, street-smart Boston private-eye Spenser have earned him a devoted following and reams of critical acclaim, typified by R.W.B. Lewis comment, "We are witnessing one of the great series in the history of the American detective story" ( The New York Times Book Review ). Robert Parkers most recent bestsellers include his SPENSER novel, WIDOWS WALK, and DEATH IN PARADISE, his third JESSE STONE novel. His first western, GUNMANS RHAPSODY was published in 2001. Parkers other works include the classic POODLE SPRINGS, a novel completed from an unfinished manuscript begun by the late Raymond Chandler, and PERCHANCE TO DREAM, the sequel to Raymond Chandlers THE BIG SLEEP. Ironically, Parker wrote about Chandler in a chapter of his doctoral thesis about the evolution of the American Hero, beginning with the colonial period and ending with the twentieth century mystery writers. As fate would have it, Parker has now become one of the best of them: "Robert B. Parker has taken his place besides the Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Ross MacDonald" (

Extractions: Robert B. Parker By William Marling The "Spenser" detective series, wrote Anne Ponder in Armchair Detective , is "the best American hardboiled detective fiction since Ross Macdonald and Raymond Chandler." High praise, but Robert B. Parker was a student of the genre before he became a master. Like Macdonald, Parker holds a doctorate in English and spent many years teaching in the university; his fiction is similarly informed by literary allusion and a concern for social justice. Parker's first novel, The Godwulf Manuscript (1974), featured an ex-boxer, ex-cop hero, fired for insubordination, vintage Hammett/Chandler. Parker added an element of sensitivity, however, and gave Spenser a "perfect woman" for his girlfriend, so that he does not chase women. Parker followed with four more novels and resigned his professorship in 1979 to write full time. By this time he had developed "some of the snappiest and sauciest dialogue in the business," wrote Jean M. White in Washington Post Book World He also anticipated the feminist surge by detailing Spenser's monogamous relationship with psychologist Susan Silverman, which deepens from novel to novel. Indeed Parker was praised not only by feminists for his strong female figures, but by lesbians for

Extractions: FOREWORD: The purpose of this site is to help you find your way among the over forty excellent books Bob Parker has published by trying to give you an idea of what the individual books are about so that you might find some enjoyable reading. I have slipped a bit of my personal opinions in some of the synopsese and the descriptions of characters, and if you find that you disagree with some of them, so be it. Although Parker writes primarily about detectives and crimes, I incline to favor those that have a little romance thrown in and I gather that I am with the majority of readers. This site was started with just the Spenser novels, but after putting the last version of my Spenser site on line, which covered the 26 novels that had been published then, I decided to expand my site to include all the books Parker had published. Many people consider Bob Parker the best present day writer of detective/crime fiction. Personally, I go farther, I think he's among the best present day writers, period. I don't know of any writer who makes their characters more real, more alive, and more interesting.. He has specialized in novels of the detective/crime genre because that field interests him and has a good market. When he got his Ph.D. degree in English, it was on detective stories, and his doctoral dissertation has been published and is described in section 3, Other Parker Books.

Extractions: The Sunday Times Biography Born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1932, Robert Brown Parker attended Colby College in Waterville, Maine, graduating with a degree in English in 1954. Following college he enlisted and served a period of time in the infantry in Korea. In 1956 he studied for an M.A. in English at Boston University, then took a variety of white-collar jobs, returning to teach and work on a Ph.D. in 1962, at the urging of his wife, Joan, his childhood sweetheart who he had married in 1956. He went on to complete his thesis, on the American hero from the Revolution to the modern mystery, covering the novels of Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Ross Macdonald, and to obtain a teaching post at Boston's Northeastern University, which gave him time to write, resulting in the first Spenser novel, the Godwulf Manuscript, in 1973. In 1978 he retired from the University, and has gone on to write many more novels featuring Spenser and his sidekick Hawk.
