Description

Linked tales crowd the port of Coralio in fictional Anchuria: diplomats, a president on the run, banana commerce, and romance that twists at the last line. O. Henry builds a comic republic on one waterfront, where ambition and love share the same ledger. Cabbages and kings turn up together in a mosaic of short stories that watch human nature under tropical heat.

Author

O. Henry (William Sydney Porter, 1862–1910) was America's great popular short-story writer of the early twentieth century — a craftsman of coincidence, slang, and sudden revelation. After years in Texas and a prison sentence that shaped his later career, he settled in New York and turned the city's anonymous millions into characters worth knowing.
