    Fair Rewards by Thomas Beer is a profoundly distinguished novel that showcases exceptional writing, blending style, sophistication, and a unique personality with a vivid imagination. It approaches brilliance, though its sharp, cold cynicism can be chilling and even painful to read. The title itself reflects this irony, derived from Shakespeares line, These be the fair rewards of those that love. It highlights the story of Mark Walling, a blind and devoted idolater, who, despite his selfless love for Margot, faces selfishness, ingratitude, and a lack of consideration in return. As Mark evolves from a naive country yokel to a stage producer, the narrative intertwines with the history of American theatre, enriched by real figures like Clyde Fitch and Anna Held, adding depth and realism to the tale.
