Down with the epilogue!
Over the weekend in the Philadelphia Inquirer, a staffer went on a rant about epilogues being the thorn in a good story’s side.
It’s funny because my fiancé was complaining about the new Harry Potter epilogue this weekend as well.
Thanks to Bookninja for showing me the article!

Shouldn’t that be thorn in a good story’s butt? :)

How very sad that readers these days,even those willing to read the Harry Potter epic, are so poorly educated (mostly, it is not their fault) they are completely unaware of the depth and range of Rowling’s genius–which includes having written an Epilogue.
I wonder how these readers would have handled the content/information the Epilogue provides, data which the great majority of readers very much have wanted.
