Autor

Earl Derr Biggers (1884–1933) was an American novelist and playwright best known for creating the fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan. A Harvard University graduate, Biggers channeled his fascination with mystery and his respectful interest in Hawaiian culture into the crafting of his most famous character, who first appeared in the novel 'The House Without a Key' (1925). As a writer, Biggers eschewed the typical portrayal of Oriental characters prevalent in his time, striving instead for a more dignified and positive representation. His creation, Chan, was characterized by wisdom, patience, and an ingenious knack for solving crimes. 'EARL DERR BIGGERS Ultimate Collection' encapsulates his notable body of work, which not only captivated readers with its wit and plot complexity but also reflected a revolutionary step away from the racial stereotypes of the era. Biggers's literary style is marked by its clear prose, careful construction of plot, and an emphasis on humor and the deductive prowess of his main protagonist. While Biggers may not be as widely read today, his influence can be seen in the enduring popularity of Charlie Chan in other media, such as films and television adaptations, demonstrating the lasting impact of his work on the genre of detective fiction.
