In O. Henry's works, we can read about real life and experience profound humanity. O. Henry created a new era for American short stories. Since 1918, the United States has established the "O. Henry Memorial Award" to reward short stories every year. "Police and Hymns" selects 30 of O. Henry's best works.

Reader comments

This book made me feel the bitterness and helplessness of life. Just like Soapy in the book, I have experienced loneliness and confusion, but I have never given up my yearning for a better life. The author O. Henry's writing is humorous and profound, which resonated with me as I read it. He seems to understand human nature very well and can use simple stories to make readers think. All in all, this is a good book worth reading again and again.

Looking for Books, Articles That Are Close to Reality and Are Not Brainless or Unhappy

Is there any book like "In and Out of the Village" and "Handsome Guy" that is logical, not exaggerated, brainless, routine, and systematic? I just want to see an ordinary person who is close to reality and slowly grows up. Although he has experienced ups and downs, there are no big storms.
