Reviews

[Wendy · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't think this author was a fan of O. Henry. This biography seemed to concentrate more on the negative aspects of his character and his drinking. Although his early years are addressed in the first part of the book, this biography focuses on the last eight years of his life when he was living in New York City.
