Ce répertoire est loin d'être exhaustif: il ne comporte pas d'auteurs occasionnels n'ayant commis qu'un ou deux romans dans cette catégorie, ainsi Bernanos ou Ira Levin que nous citerons cependant dans le choix;

   Extractions: Description: Earl Derr Biggers (1884-1933) is best remembered as the creator of Chinese detective Charlie Chan, whose long-running series of exploits (portrayed in the movies first by Warner Oland and later Sidney Toler) made him a world-famous character from the 1930s to the 1950s. At the height of the series, Charlie Chan was nearly on par with Sherlock Holmes ... and he spawned such Oriental detective imitators as Mr. Moto and Mr. Wong. Biggers had always been interested in mystery fiction, but his interest in Hawaii clearly stems from a 1919 vacation in Honolulu. While there, he read a newspaper article on a Chinese detective named Chang Apana. Apana would become the model for Charlie Chan in Biggers' 1925 novel

    Extractions: EARL DERR BIGGERS: 'Harvard Magazine,' March-April 2000 Earl Derr Biggers Brief life of a popular author: 1884-1933 By Barbara Gregorich "I am quite sure that I never intended to travel the road of the mystery writer," wrote Earl Derr Biggers '07 for his twenty-fifth class reunion report. "Nor did I deliberately choose to have in the seat at my side, his life forever entangled with mine, a bland and moon-faced Chinese. Yet here I am, and with me Charlie Chan. Thank heaven he is amiable, philosophicala good companion. For I know now that he and I must travel the rest of the journey together." Described by friends as "short, round, and dark" and by his wife as "a Middle West product with a Boston complex," Biggers loved food, travel, and golf. A skilled raconteur with a fine sense of humor, he finished a second novel, "Love Insurance," in New York, then turned it into a successful play, "See-Saw." But further theatrical collaboration, while enhancing his reputation, exhausted him physically, emotionally, and creatively. On an extended family vacation, he reached Hawaii in 1920, sunned on the beach at Waikiki, plotted the perfect murder...and saved it for the right hero. "I had seen movies depicting and read stories about Chinatown and wicked Chinese villains," he explained years later, "and it struck me that a Chinese hero, trustworthy, benevolent, and philosophical, would come nearer to presenting a correct portrayal of the race."

    Extractions: -The House Without a Key So enters Charlie Chan, crack detective of the Honolulu Police Force, in this his first appearance in print. While vacationing in Hawaii in 1919, Earl Derr Biggers read about a local Chinese detective named Chang Apana. Intrigued by the concept, he created Charlie Chan, one of the great fictional detectives in all of literature, and, thanks to the movies, one of the enduring cultural icons of the century. He is, of course, a stereotype, but it's hard to see how he would be objectionable. After all, he's a bright, witty, polite police officer and family man. If anything, I should be offended, the WASP descendants of the Hawaiian missionaries are caricatured as priggish and sanctimonious, but I got over it. It's all done in a spirit of fun and who's to say that the caricatures don't have something to them. The real charm of the book lies in the portrayal of a Hawaii that is now long gone. The islands we see here were still pre-statehood, dominated by the Anglo aristocracy, but with a large and vital Asian community. (Reading this novel, it's easy to see why there was no effort made to inter Hawaii's Japanese population during WWII, as was done in the West Coast states. They were simply too great a percentage of the population to even consider such wholesale civil rights abuses.) And Honolulu was still very much a port city with all of the rowdiness that one would expect with the regular influx of young sailors.
