The final segment of a book, which comes "after the end." In both fiction and nonfiction, an epilogue offers commentary or further information, but does not bear directly on the book's central design.

epilogue (n.) A short poem or speech spoken directly to the audience following the conclusion of a play.
epilogue (n.) A short addition or concluding section at the end of a literary work, often dealing with the future of its characters. Also called afterword
Example: Not only did Joe stay in school after being encouraged to do so by Amy, he went on to medical school and came back to Walnut Grove many years later as the town doctor and was instrumental in getting the hospital built. But that's another story.
