But like all good rules, there are exceptions, and I got to thinking about them after reading Miller’s review. A line I delighted in when I first came upon it that a good book can’t be spoiled is something I’ve long insisted on. “…consider sacrificing surprise, the lowest form of literary pleasure, for the much richer satisfaction the first half of this novel can deliver when read in light of the second,” writes Laura Miller in her review of Lauren Groff’s new novel, Fates and Furies, in which spoilers are revealed. ![]()
