At the beginning of the book, it explained it. Jesse Andrews is not an author he is a film maker. And this is how they finish a film. It was quit interesting.
Andrea Smith
The word "FIN" has its roots in Latin. The term is/was used in French (as well as Spanish language) films. In the 1950s, the French film industry underwent a revival called the "French New Wave." People who were film fans throughout the world saw these movies. The famous French directors used "FIN" at the end of their films. Film aficionados or film school students still watch those films these days, so it was a reference to Greg's love of film making.
