O. Henry holds an exceptional place in American literature as a master of the genre “short story.” O. Henry’s works are distinguished by inventive plots, unexpected endings, and mocking humor. Together they form a fairy-tale-adventure epic of American life, full of authentic everyday details and sharp social observations. The true hero of O. Henry is “the little American”—with his right to happiness.
