Great works of literature, left uncompleted by the untimely visit of the Grim Reaper:
The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Charles Dickens
Don Juan, Lord Byron
Denis Duval, William Makepeace Thackeray
Answered Prayers, Truman Capote
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
The Landleaguers, Anthony Trollope
Wives and Daughters, Elizabeth Gaskell
The Last Tycoon, F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sanditon, Jane Austen
Islands in the Stream, Ernest Hemingway
Death, one concludes, is a lousy literary critic.”
