- not really. things happen, he could be killed by a bus. actually, if i was a famous writer with 'incomplete' works i'd probably make that a standard - Elf Andie Nov 19, 10:15 4
  - The will could also have not been specific. "Please destroy any unpublished manuscripts upon my death." -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 10:16 3
    - exactly. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 19, 10:17 2
      - what if he did revise it without telling anyone, didn't get around to changing the will and then died suddenly? -- nm - zork Nov 19, 10:18 1
        
        then too bad for humanity. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 19, 10:18
