Según Peter Brooks leemos movidos por nuestro deseo del final, del reconocimiento que es el momento de la muerte del lector en el texto, y un sustituto de nuestro deseo de muerte y disolución. El «no final» experimental de Changing Places de David Lodge frustra nuestras expectativas al poner fin a la actividad lectora, pero no a nuestro deseo de final. El presente artículo se centra en las implicaciones de la decisión de Lodge de poner fin a su novela de forma inesperada a la luz de la ambigua relación entre realismo y posmodernidad.
