'We live in one of the first eras of history in which it is widely believed that a happy ending is the mark of inferior art. Why? Many are certain that, ultimately, life is meaningless and that happy endings are misleading at best. Life therefore would be better represented by paradox, irony, and a sense of frustration. Happy endings are all right for children's stories, perhaps, but not for thinking adults. "Grown-up" art, whether it's Seinfeld or Waiting for Godot, deliberately lacks narrative coherence and, of course, any happy ending.'
