  <about><![CDATA[O. Henry is the pen name of William Sydney Porter, a short story writer who began his career as an author while serving time in the Ohio Penitentiary under charges of embezzlement.  Best known for his surprise endings and twists, he was sometimes called America's answer to Guy de Maupassant.  He also coined the term &quot;banana republic&quot; while visiting Honduras in the 1890s, having left the country precipitously the day before he was due to stand trial.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>    <born_at>09/11/1862</born_at>  <died_at>06/05/1910</died_at>
