A proposito di questo titolo

 Born in 1862 and passing away in 1910, O. Henry—whose real name was William Sydney Porter—adopted his famous pen name while serving time in prison. Throughout his life, he published 10 collections and over 600 short stories, capturing the essence of early 20th-century New York City. The Trimmed Lamp serves as a delightful continuation of The Four Million, offering a fresh series of short tales filled with O. Henrys signature surprise endings and clever twists of fate. His stories bring to life the ordinary people navigating everyday scenarios, infused with his unique blend of humor and coincidence. As he famously said, “There are stories in everything. I’ve got some of my best yarns from park benches, lampposts, and newspaper stands.” I hope you find as much joy in these readings as I did in bringing them to you.
