O. Henry is the pen name of American writer William Sydney Porter (1862-1910). Porter's 400 short stories are known for their wit, wordplay, characterization and the clever use of twist endings. He traveled to Austin in 1884, where he took a number of different jobs over the next several years, first as pharmacist then as a draftsman, bank teller and journalist. He also began writing as a sideline to employment. Porter's most prolific writing period started in 1902, when he moved to New York City to be near his publishers. He wrote 381 short stories while living there. He wrote a story a week for over a year for the New York World Sunday Magazine. His wit, characterization and plot twists were adored by his readers, but often panned by the critics. Yet, he went on to gain international recognition and is credited with defining the short story as a literary art form. His works include: Cabbages and Kings (1904), The Four Million (1906), Heart of the West (1907), The Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories of the Four Million (1907), The Voice of the City: Further Stories of the Four Million (1908), The Gentle Grafter (1908) and Roads of Destiny (1909).

The ingredients that appeal most in the typical O. Henry short story are a blend of humor, sentiment, and cutting edge urban wit. With a breezy, slangy style, and specializing in easily recognizable "types," O. Henry's stories are neatly put together and move quickly. The sharp unexpected twist at the end of each story is the O. Henry patented trademark. The Gentle Grafter, first published in 1908, shows the author at his best in dealing with the lives of everyday people in such stories as "The Octopus Marooned," "The Hand That Riled the World," "The Exact Science of Matrimony," "Innocents of Broadway," "A Tempered Wind," "Hostages to Momus," among many others. The essential New York is just under the surface. The Gentle Grafter contains numerous tales of corruption. Each chapter is either told by an anonymous narrator or by Jeff Peters and Andy Tucker, two other con men. All of the con work was done somewhere within the United States. With the surprising twists and turns, not to mention the wit and humor throughout the book, The Gentle Grafter will leave the reader smiling and asking for more.
