The end. At last.
Theorizing over a novel’s final sentence.
One of the favourite games of literary people is that of best first lines. Everyone enjoys reciting them; the bizarre (Earthly Powers), the haunting (Rebecca), the august (Anna Karenina), the casual (Howards End) or the strangely anonymous (Jane Eyre). First lines are great fun. But they aren’t really as important to a novel as the last lines. From a terrible first line, a novel may recover; the last line is what it leaves a reader with.
