We can start with Huckleberry Finn, as it may the foremost example of — why?

Novels, as we have seen many made into movies, seem to have to have tragic-heroic conclusions — of despair rather than catharsis.

I mean, if I were Hamlet, sea change and all, I would’ve joined with the pirates — why not?

Dickens had to write two endings for Great Expectations, for one good reason — why?

I once imagined, what if I had a copy of every novel I’d ever read —

God Bless Libraries.

So hey, you can see where I’m coming from —
