oakley asked Tommy Wallach:

this is going along with my lil comment i sent last night you answered to - for some clarification. i just wanted to say that by "i felt it ended badly" i meant that it ended bad for the characters in the story. but i loved it. it left me thinking and a bit of crying was involved. because, suddenly, as eliza puts it, everything is fleeting. thanks for taking time to read this!! (?)

Tommy Wallach Hey Oakley,

Apologies for my terrible slowness. I'm so very glad you liked the ending! Certainly I've had more conversations with readers about the ending of WALU than any other part of anything I've written: and that was my plan all along (bwahahahaha!). Anyway, thanks for reaching out, and be super well!
