Short Story Club will feature a variety of short stories by American writers, coupled with a discussion about the meaning and language used in the text.
On November 27th in celebration of Thanksgiving Week we will discuss "Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen" by O. Henry.
“Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen,” like so many of O. Henry’s other stories, is rife with irony, mocking humor, and his signature surprise — or as some have described them, “twisty” — endings. These qualities make it difficult to say with certainty what O. Henry is up to: is he irreverently satirizing the tradition of Thanksgiving, or is he, at the same time, showing us and celebrating its redeeming essence?
