Show Notes

This week we bring you “Roads of Destiny” by O. Henry. Do you believe in Destiny? Can we somehow avoid our Destiny by taking a different road? Is O. Henry a fatalist? I dare say he is. It is said that Henry collected ideas by loitering in hotel lobbies and observing and talking to people there. He relied on this technique to gain creative inspiration throughout his writing career. Maybe he met a poet and wrote his story. Enjoy!
