| 1936 | "A Good Character for a Novel" | The New Masses, December 15, 1936 | Stout, Rex |
 Rex Stout's story concerns a man who will debate on any side of a discussion, "proving that the ability to argue both sides of a question can have alarming consequences." Rex Stout's FBI file may contain references to this story since The New Masses was a Marxist publication. |
|||
| 1942 | The Illustrious Dunderheads | Alfred A. Knopf | Stout, Rex (editor) |
| An anthology of brief passages from pre-Pearl Harbor isolationist and anti-war speeches and writings of U.S. congressmen, as well as itemized voting records of those who tended to vote against the Roosevelt administration on military and defense matters. (Many of the supposedly imbecilic quotations, complaining about supplying military aid to Josef Stalin, do not seem so dunderheaded today, e.g. Karl Mundt: "The prospect of a Hitler victory over Russia is dreary enough. But how much brighter for us is the possibility of a Stalin victory?") | |||

Edited by Rex Stout and Louis Greenfield |
| Stout, Rex, an essay on Detective Fiction, included in (with an excerpt on the back cover) of Josephine Tey's posthumously published mystery anthology, Four, Five, and Six, 1959. Mr. Stout was an admirer of Tey, especially her final book, The Daughter of Time, which exonerated Richard III of his crimes. |

| Stout, Rex [literary agent for Archie Goodwin], "Why Nero Wolfe Likes Orchids," Life, April 19, 1963 Concluding a feature story titled "The Orchid" that was photographed by Alfred Eisenstaedt, Archie Goodwin "investigates and explains the deep satisfactions of his boss's orchid-fixation." (The article was reprinted in Corsage" A Bouquet of Rex Stout and Nero Wolfe, edited by Michael Bourne.) |
|||
| Stout, Rex [literary agent for Archie Goodwin], "The Case of the Spies Who Weren't," Ramparts Magazine, Jan., 1966 Archie Goodwin reports that the previous evening Nero Wolfe and "Rex Stout, my literary agent," filled 27 pages in his notebook with their discussion of Invitation to an Inquest by Walter and Miriam Schneir, a recently published book that they are reviewing for Ramparts magazine. Since their review must be fewer than 3,000 words, Wolfe frowns and orders Archie to "Contract it. Cramp it." I frowned back. "You cramp it. Or Stout. Let him earn his ten per cent. Dictate it." Archie loses the argument and condenses their views on the book, which concerns the case against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. |
