Lee and Dannay were not only the creators of the character Ellery Queen,
one of the most successful in history, they (especially Dannay) did more to support and
nurture detective fiction in that country than anyone else. Dannay himself speculated
about the possible future significance of the mysteries, "In 20 or 30 years, the
literary historians will go back to the good mystery novel to find out what was really
going on. Our books are as much a canvas of their time as the books by Proust were of his
time." |
![]() Nowadays (2018) access to genealogical sites has become more common. David Nathan is confirmed as being born on October 20. However Emanuel Lepofsky has a birth certificate on file which says January 12. not January 11. Rand B. Lee informed us the following "On his certificate of death my father's birth is listed as Jan. 11, 1905; we always celebrated his birth on Jan. 11th; he always claimed that was his birthday, and his sisters, my aunts, confirmed it many times. Jan. 12th is an error in the document."
