Earl Derr Biggers (1884–1933) was an American novelist and playwright, best known for creating the fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan. Born in Warren, Ohio, Biggers graduated from Harvard University in 1907. He embarked on a career in journalism before achieving success as a novelist. His break came with his novel 'Seven Keys to Baldpate' (1913), a mystery that was later adapted into a popular play and several films. This book exemplified Biggers' penchant for combining humor with intrigue and helped cement his reputation as a distinctive voice in early 20th-century American literature. His literary style often blended elements of mystery with comedy, setting a precedent for subsequent generations of writers who would create the 'cozy' mystery sub-genre. Although Biggers wrote only six novels in the Charlie Chan series, his creation left an indelible mark on American culture and the detective genre. His works were characteristic for their attention to plot and character development, an aspect often praised by contemporary critics. Despite criticisms regarding the racial stereotyping prevalent at the time, Biggers has been credited for his progressive approach in counteracting prevailing negative Chinese-American stereotypes by endowing his characters with integrity, intelligence, and a strong moral compass. Earl Derr Biggers' legacy continues through the ongoing interest in his novels and the enduring popularity of Charlie Chan on screen and in pastiche.
