: Re: Can novels have twist endings? Can a novel have a twist at the end? Sure, a short story can be well written towards a not-so-obvious twist, but a 200+ page novel...can you suddenly whip it

Twist endings are the best kind of endings.
One story which has become a recent favorite of mine was
"One flew over the cuckoo nest"(Novel/movie)

From the title you can tell that one of the Mental institution patients was going to get the better of the asylum.
Naturally the reader assumes its the main character.

(SPOILER)
Surprise: At the end of the story the main character gets lobotomized. Then the native american who was revealed to be pretending to be a retarded mute escapes.
(after mercifully killing the main character and taking his spirit as per native american beliefs.)

: Are there copyright issues with a novella title if it's a famous line? If you use a line or phrase from a really famous poem that most can recite as a title for a novella, is it stealing?
