Several funny ironies about Krystal. Not only is he Barzun's executor, but Barzun wrote A CATALOGUE OF CRIME, a substantive critical volume that took mystery quite seriously (and was awarded a special Edgar).

An earlier version of this obituary misidentified Arthur Krystal as the executor of Mr. Barzun’s estate. He is actually Mr. Barzun’s friend and editor.
