Well, technically (according to the author's note in the back of "
Last Night in Twisted River") he writes the last sentence - which to my mind is not quite the same thing as writing the ending (but the note does make, or at least suggest, this equivalence). He talks about writing to a sound, a feeling, that we wants to achieve, and I can relate to that, though different people look for it in different places.
