This summer we are showcasing short stories that have been nominated for the O. Henry Memorial Award from 1919-1923.

Booth Tarkington won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction twice. Once in 1919 for his novel The Magnificent Ambersons, and also in 1923 for Alice Adams.

He was well-known and prolific, penning many best-selling novels including Penrod and Seventeen. He was also an illustrator, playwright and politician, serving one term in 1905 in the Indiana House of Representatives.

In the 1910s and 1920s, Tarkington was regarded as “the most important and lasting writer in his generation”. By the end of the 20th Century, however, he had been completely ignored by academia, and in 2019 he was described by Robert Gottlieb as “America’s most distinguished hack”. Apparently, Tarkington’s penchant for glorifying the past, going beyond typical nostalgia, rubbed the modern academicians the wrong way.

I think it might be time we give him another chance.

And now, “The One Hundred Dollar Bill”, by Booth Tarkington.
