Stories
O.Henry stories are famous for their surprise endings.He was called the American Guy De Maupassant.Both authors wrote twist endings,but O.Henry stories were much more playful and optimistic.
Most of O.Henry's stories are set in his own time,the early years of the 20th century.Many take place in New York City,and deal for the most part with ordinary people:clerks,policemen,waitresses.His stories are also well known for witty narration.
The Four Million (a collection of stories) opens with a reference to Ward McAllister's "assertion that there were only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing.But a wiser man has arisen—the census taker—and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the 'Four Million'".To O.Henry,everyone in New York counted.He had an obvious affection for the city,which he called Baghdad on the Subway,and many of his stories are set there—but others are set in small towns and in other cities.
His famous story A Municipal Report opens by quoting Frank Norris:"Fancy a novel about Chicago or Buffalo,let us say,or Nashville,Tennessee!There are just three big cities in the United States that are 'story cities' — New York,of course,New Orleans,and,best of the lot,San Francisco." Thumbing his nose at Norris,O.Henry sets the story in Nashville.
Fundamentally a product of his time,O.Henry's work provides one of the best English examples of catching the entire flavor of an age.Whether roaming the cattle-lands of Texas,exploring the art of the "gentle grifter",or investigating the tensions of class and wealth in turn of the century New York,O.Henry had an inimitable hand for isolating some element of society and describing it with an incredible economy and grace of language.Some of his best and least-known work resides in the collection "Cabbages and Kings",a series of stories which each explore some individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy South American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period.
