Better known by his pen name O. Henry, American writer William Sydney Porter became known for the plot twists and surprise endings in his playfully narrated short stories. Many of O. Henry's stories take place in New York City and deal for the most part with ordinary people: often policemen, waitresses, or cattle-ranchers in small towns.
