	La Camera Gialla - Earl Derr Biggers: Biografia completa
		Biggers era nato a Warren, nell'Ohio, e aveva avuto la sua prima esperienza di lavoro come giornalista umoristico nel Boston Traveler, periodico che gli consentì anche di esercitare le mansioni di vice-critico teatrale.
		Parlando dell'opera di Biggers, lo studioso francese Francis Lacassin ha scritto che per Charlie Chan il crimine è un avvenimento da non ricevere con morbosa ed eccitante attrazione, e l'autore aderisce a questo dato di fondo improntando la sua scrittura a un insistito senso di pudore e di moderazione.
		Biggers è partito operando un ribaltamento dell'abitudine, allora dilagante in letteratura, di presentare i cinesi e gli orientali in genere come individui sinistri e perversi, e tentando di offrire una visione più serena ed equilibrata (ma raramente più ricca) della mentalità di quei popoli.

		Biggers is quite sly in his presentation, for both Minerva and John are shocked to find themselves dealing with a "Chinaman." But as the mysterious case progresses they soon find themselves, at times grudgingly, coming to respect him as both police detective and man.
		Like many of Biggers' novels, the plot is more adventure than actual mystery, but the characters are charming, and his portrait of Hawaii as it trembles between its ancient traditions and the modern world is remarkably effective.
		In 1932 Earl Biggers wrote a report to his Harvard classmates on the occasion of the twenty-fifth reunion of the class of 1907.

		Biggers always asserted that he had not based Chan on any real person, but he sent Apana an autographed copy of "The Black Camel."
		Just as Biggers seemed determined to write a non-Chan novel, the stock market crashed: as a result, he stuck with sure success, producing "Charlie Chan Carries On" and "Keeper of the Keys," writing at a pace that strained his health.
		Obituaries commended him for aiding the cause of international understanding and for paying tribute to the Chinese role in building the cities, orange groves, and vineyards of the Coast; a 'Plain Dealer' editorial called Chan the most appealing supersleuth since Sherlock Holmes.
