Heart of the West
(eBook)
America's most popular short story writer saddles up and heads west in nineteen frontier-themed tales, including "The Caballero's Way." Known for his surprise endings, O. Henry turns his attention to the American West in tales of lawmen and outlaws, cowboys and prairie princesses-running the gamut from laugh-out-loud humor to tear-jerking pathos. "The most memorable stories from this collection are both a bit different from the rest. 'The Sphinx Apple' is the one story that does not seem pat or easy; here the last few paragraphs put a dead end to the fanciful flights of the rest of the story, and silences all the characters with delicate irony. 'The Caballero's Way' is grand-opera tragedy, complete with love, betrayal, and revenge. . . . They are all written with wit, love, and that little bit of wisdom that makes you love the vagaries of humanity . . . even the most sentimental ones." -Vintage Novels
