edit: Can you read a normal novel in reverse without spoiling the suspense? No. The achievement of a reverse novel is that you can read it in the intended reverse order without spoiling the suspense. To take the example given, “The October List” is suspenseful in its backward telling, but is banal in its forward telling. So: a reverse novel is much more than a normal novel written in reverse: the tension of the suspense also gets flipped into reverse.
