Orson Scott Card has resided in North Carolina around twenty years. He is difficult to categorize in terms of genre, for his output ranges over fantasy, science-fiction, drama, critical studies, and software technical manuals. Senior examines Card's work, which is not without controversy.

Stephenson, Shelby

Abstract:

William Sydney Porter, known as O. Henry, was born in Greensboro in 1862. Most of his stories were set in the south, and a recurrent theme in his tales was the old south versus the new south. Full of humor, satire, and stereotypes, several of O. Henry's stories are autobiographical and set in the Catskills. O. Henry died in 1910 and is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Asheville, not far from Thomas Wolfe.
