O. Henry 
Voice of the City 
Further Stories of the Four Million

O. Henry is most widely recognized for his stories’ dry wit and plot twists. But another major element in his fiction is his love of the American urban environment, as well as a keen appreciation of the rapid diversification that occurred in many cities in the early twentieth century. The collection The Voice of the City brings together an array of tales about humble people trying to survive in a major metropolis.
