No current Talk conversations about this book. 4/14/22 A few years ago I purchased a book of O’Henry’s short stories (“41 Short Stories”) at his house-museum in Austin. I enjoyed them tremendously and looked forward to getting more of his stories, but never did until now. This collection promises to be the source of much enjoyable reading in the future. I am almost halfway through them and coninue to enjoy them. For anyone interested in more background on this book, and a discussion of O’Henry by the editor Ben Yagoda, you may want to listen to the podcast “The Great Books” led by John J. Miller (Episode 208) no reviews | add a review

"Texas troubadour, convicted embezzler, and adopted New Yorker William Sidney Porter--better known as O. Henry--was one of the world's great storytellers. A master of cunning plots and a gifted humorist, he is best known today for his beloved tale "The Gift of the Magi." But O. Henry's palette of moods and methods was as expansive as his exuberant imagination. This Library of America volume offers a fresh look at the full range of his literary genius. Here are 101 stories, including such favorites as "The Ransom of Red Chief," "The Last of the Troubadours," and "The Cop and the Anthem," alongside lesser-known and previously uncollected stories, including three early tales published here for the first time. With full annotation and a newly researched chronology of Porter's life and career, this is a definitive edition for modern readers of a major American writer."--Publisher's description.
