1. O. Henry - "The O. Henry Twist"
Manage episode 447143651 series 3611154
Nicholas and Tim take turns reading four of O. Henry's signature very short stories with a "twist" ending: "The Social Triangle," "The Love Philtre of Ikey Schoenstein," "The Gift of the Magi," and "While the Auto Waits." All concern life and class relations (conceived broadly) in turn-of-the-century New York City.
Nicholas and Tim then discuss these works, after first grappling with O. Henry's overall place in literature.
