My recently-completed PhD thesis focused on the subject of the Hollywood 'happy ending', which has obviously required that I delve into endings and closure more broadly. One article stemming from this research, 'Does the Hollywood Happy Ending Exist?', is available online here<http://www.scribd.com/doc/56195466/Does-the-Hollywood-Happy-Ending-Exist> . I'd be very interested to know how others are approaching the subject of endings (it is indeed a bizarrely under-explored area), and would be happy to share either more work or bibliographies if people would like to contact me off list...
