"Lohafer explores a unique idea, one 'revolv[ing] around an experiment in which one or more readers identify sentences within a story when the text could end.' Lohafer presents student response to this experiment and goes on to analyze a number of short stories... This approach, deconstructive yet traditional, permits the author to open up new possibilities of interpretation." -- Choice
