460 | Desk Purple Yellow Blue: The Best (Worst) Way to End a Story


Listen Later

This week, hosts Liam Clifford and Amalie Hutchinson are joined by Alexander Sallas, a PhD candidate in Western's Department of English and Writing Studies. In his dissertation, Alexander talks about the Deus Ex Machina, a special, unpredictable way to end a story. Some people believe that this is not a great way to end a story, but Alexander strongly disagrees. Unpredictable events happen all the time in real life, so why can't they happen in a story?

Recorded on May 14, 2024.

Produced by Anthony Cruz.
