Produktinformationen zu „Thirty by O. Henry (ePub)“
America's premiere short story author
William Nadel - editor and great, great, great nephew of the author - writes in this new collection:
"Why O Henry? Why now? The answer came in a local bookstore from a young science fiction writer. 'O Henry inspired me to become a writer!' she proclaimed. 'He knew how to tell a story and he knew how to create memorable characters!'
"Bold Venture Press has given me the chance to select what I feel are thirty of my great Uncle's most interesting stories, including a 31st story - his only collaboration with another author, his 'pard' Al Jennings. Each story is prefaced with notes regarding the origins of stories, how they represent a simpler time in New York City and elsewhere, and how they remain relevant more than 100 years later. O Henry captured the essence of human want and desire like no other author before or since."
