"The plot of nearly all the good stories in the world is concerned with shorts who were unable to cover," Porter 「ショートショートの名手」と呼ばれるオー・ヘンリーをご存知でしょうか。オー・ヘンリーの作品は、少しの皮肉さをスパイスにしたユーモアあふれる作品で、その作品数にも驚きです。「ショートショートの名手」オー・ヘンリーとはどのような人物なのか、おすすめの作品と一緒に紹介し O. Henry, (born September 11, 1862, Greensboro, North Carolina, U.S.—died June 5, 1910, New York, New York), American short-story writer whose tales romanticized the commonplace—in particular the life of ordinary people in New York City.His stories expressed the effect of coincidence on character through humour, grim or ironic, and often had surprise endings, a device that became 6. ' The Sleuths '. This 1911 story is a more light-hearted tale from O. Henry, and a pastiche of the popular Sherlock Holmes stories.
