The Best Short Stories of O. Henry
The Best Short Stories of O. Henry | O. Henry
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
The more than 600 stories written by O. Henry provided an embarrassment of riches for the compilers of this volume.  The final selection of the thirty-eight stories in this collection offers for the reader's delight those tales honored almost unanimously by anthologists and those that represent, in variety and balance, the best work of America's favorite storyteller.  They are tales in his most mellow, humorous, and ironic moods.  They give the full range and flavor of the man born William Sydney Porter but known throughout the world as O. Henry, one of the great masters of the short story.From the Hardcover edition.

Austin literary tour: Harry Ransom Center (Joyce, Shakespeare first editions and David Foster Wallace manuscripts), O. Henry museum (with a book haul of one of his originally unpublished works) and Book People because you can never have enough books.
