5.0 out of 5 stars So interesting you'll forget it's nonfiction!, July 26, 2001

This review is from: O. Henry: The Legendary Life of William S. Porter. (Hardcover)
At the conclusion of his book "A Twist at the End," Steven Saylor highly recommends this biography of O. Henry. I do, too.

This book sheds so much light on both William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) and American life in the late 19th century and early 20th century. O'Connor meticulously documents his sources in a way that never interferes with his story. About three-fourths of the way through the book, I suddenly realized that this non-fiction work is far more interesting than the novel ("A Twist at the End") that Saylor wrote about one part of O. Henry's life.

If you enjoy biographies, try to find a used copy of this book.
