The explanation for E.B. White's ending of Stuart Little.

I was looking up Stuart Little to find the date the movie was produced and to my surprise I found out why the book ended so quickly. Apparently, E.B. White was a hypochondria. He thought that death was soon approaching him. So he quickly finished up the book. The amusing thing is he wasn't sick, in fact, he lived another 40 years after publishing Stuart Little. The un-amusing thing is the book is unfinished. The ending is not at all satisfactory, it's abrupt and strange. He doesn't find the bird, gets rejected by a girl, and is a regular little ol' fool who can't make up his mind or stay out of trouble. No "American dream" or beautiful ending with lost-love found. This is a rushed ending, the work of someone who believes they won't be alive tomorrow. Especailly the last parageraphs where the telephone poll repair man is talking about all that he's seen and done. The beautiful wonders he's seen and how at peace he is with traveling to an unknown place and time. Full of hidden messages and sort of sad acceptance of life. Terrible and funny because White doesn't die for another 40 years.
