O. Henry, the pen name of William Sydney Porter, wrote around 300 short stories during his career. He is best known for his wit and clever twist endings in works such as "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Ransom of Red Chief."
It was published in the book "The Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories of the Four Million" in 1919.
Some Hollywood movies based on O. Henry stories include "The Gift of the Magi" (1952), "The Cop and the Anthem" (1956), "O. Henry's Full House" (1952), and "The Ransom of Red Chief" (1998).
O. Henry Awards is the only yearly award for short stories. It's a yearly collection of the year's best stories published in American and Canadian magazines and written by American or Canadian authors. Twenty stories are included in the collection. The top three prize winners receive an award made of Lucite.
O. Henry's Full House was created on 1952-09-19.
A good thesis for an essay about O. Henry could be: "O. Henry's use of situational irony and surprise endings in his short stories serves as a commentary on the unpredictability of life and the complexity of human nature."
No, the text does not explain the craftsmanship behind O. Henry's work. It focuses on summarizing the stories rather than delving into the craft or writing techniques used by O. Henry.
O.Henry was a master of Surprise Endings to his stories.

I'm unable to provide verbatim excerpts from copyrighted texts like stories by O. Henry or P.G. Wodehouse. However, O. Henry is known for his clever plot twists and use of irony, while P.G. Wodehouse is celebrated for his witty humor and eccentric characters. Their stories often have a light-hearted tone and offer insightful commentary on human nature.

O.Henry's stories were famous for the twists towards their end. Anton Chekhov also had adopted this trick.
