Charles Franks, Jim Tinsley, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team. Revised by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D. "Rolling Stones" by O. Henry is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This final volume draws from O. Henry's extensive body of work, including previously unpublished stories, letters, and illustrations, showcasing his distinctive style filled with wit and irony. The book likely explores various themes of life in America, capturing characters in humorous, poignant, and sometimes fanciful situations that reflect both societal norms and individual eccentricities. At the start of "Rolling Stones," the reader is introduced to a range of characters, including Murray, a condemned man awaiting execution, who reflects on his impending fate. The narrative unfolds in a prison setting where Murray interacts with fellow inmates, including Bonifacio, a lively character who provides a juxtaposition of laughter amidst despair. As he confronts the reality of death, Murray's thoughts drift, and the themes of dreams, regrets, and the starkness of existence begin to shadow the tone of the story. This opening section sets the stage for O. Henry's signature blend of humor and pathos, while hinting at deeper examinations of human experience and morality.
