Twice in the last three years I have taught an undergraduate course at Stanford called "Unfinished Novels." The plan is simple: my students and I read a selection of pretty old novels that were left unfinished, either because the author died at some point during the composition process, or (in one case) because they lost interest in a project that had once appeared worthwhile. Along the way, we talk and write about whatever we find.
