Part of the joy of reading, especially short stories, is wondering where the story is eventually going to land. American novelist and short story writer Ethan Canin teaches that leaping to unexpected places at the end of a story can disarm the reader's intelligence and engage their emotions.
Mentioned in this episode: Dino Buzzati, tr. by Lawrence Venuti, "The Falling Girl" in Sleepless Nights: Selected Stories(1983).
Music: Carole Cassier
