But I hate spoliers! Especially for magazine fiction, there’s that wonderful feeling of disorientation when you start reading and don’t know anything about what’s coming next.
Unrelated P.S. You have google ads on your site. Is the $ they bring in really worth the irrelevance they bring to the page?
The press releases I’ve seen did not contain spoilers. I’ve skipped too many New Yorker stories I probably would have liked because I couldn’t figure out in the first half-page or so what they were about. William Trevor’s stories, for example.
The Google ads are my toe-in-the-water of small business, which fascinates me. The best way to learn is to do.
if you’re counting, i don’t mind the ad and it’s ok with me if you make $$$ to offset the cost of maintaining and contributing to the site. (as long as they’re not pop up ads.

Thanks, Peter. It’s more $ than $$$.
