The Snow Man

Snoozecast

Tonight, we’ll read a short story by O. Henry titled “Snow Man” published posthumously in 1917. Snoozecast first read this story back in 2020.

William Sydney Porter, pen name O. Henry, is known for short stories with surprise twist endings. He used pseudonyms like O. Henry to hide the fact that he was for a time imprisoned for embezzlement.

This particular story, set during the winter in Colorado, had to be left unfinished by the author at the end of his life. The other then asked a friend and fellow writer to finish it for him, after describing to him in detail the remainder of his vision for it.
