"I used to teach the short story to college students, and they all seemed to think the last line should tie up everything in a big satin bow with the moral attached like a gift tag...But for me, the best short fiction works through discomfort. A reader shouldn’t know what it all means at the end."
When it comes to finishing a story or poem I think sometimes of a master thief listening to the gears inside of a safe and then hearing the correct sound that opens it all up. Or a trap door opening.

Mads: A trap door is right. I used to teach the short story to college students, and they all seemed to think the last line should tie up everything in a big satin bow with the moral attached like a gift tag. Not subtle. But for me, the best short fiction works through discomfort. A reader shouldn’t know what it all means at the end. The story should, ideally, live inside them like a parasitic fungus, flaring at times of high moisture and abundant nutrients to offer a new perspective.

Miles: I would rate last lines as ten thousand times harder than first lines. I believe almost any literate person can write the good first line. In that sense I say your similes here are right on: a good ending feels like you’re getting away with something. The conclusion of The Old, Old, Very Old Man, which you’ve quoted there, was one of those dreamy visual abstractions that I think literature now has the pleasure of robbing from cinema. Practically speaking, it has nothing to do with the story you’ve just read, apart from the character. But, ideally, it snaps you into this stark postcard that fully describes the horror of the vacation she’s been on and the permanent break from the “friend” she was traveling with.

did the design for my friend mike's book. it's inspired by keith shore's illustration, lorraine louie's design for vintage contemporaries paperbacks, susan kare's icons, andy warhol's jazz album covers, and nyc parking signs. more: double--negative.com/001-new-palt...

i feel bad for everyone impacted by the nea funding situation, and find the government's direction as loathsome as everyone else, but i'm disturbed by how common the assumption that literature should be subsidized by the public dollar (or any large patron).
