About this book
*Options* is a 1909 collection of short stories by O. Henry, featuring his characteristic twist endings and wry observations of ordinary American life. Readers who enjoy classic American short fiction and O. Henry's signature ironic style will find it appealing.
Note: I've flagged the publication date because the catalogue lists "first published: 1998," but *Options* was originally published in 1909—the 1998 date likely refers to a specific reprint edition. You may want to verify which date belongs in the catalogue record.
O. Henry
William Sydney Porter, better known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American writer known primarily for his short stories, though he also wrote poetry and non-fiction. His works include "The Gift of the Magi", "The Caballero's Way", "The Duplicity of Hargraves", and "The Ransom of Red Chief", as well as the novel Cabbages and Kings. Porter's stories are known for their naturalist observations, witty narration, and surprise endings.
