Abstract:
Greensboro-born William Sydney Porter, more commonly known as writer O. Henry, led a romantic life and created a wide body of work decidedly worth revisiting as his popularity seems to sustain the test of time. Considered the father of the American short story, he wrote of love and romance, often in a jocular or sentimental vein. Readers are often as interested in O. Henry's life story as they are his work.
