  • A twisted marriage of lies, infidelity, and murder - master of the mystery/thriller and author of the New York Times bestseller Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn reveals what it takes to write a novel people can't put down. What was the inspiration for the book that has replaced Fifty Shades of Grey as the new must-read fiction of the year? Find out how this former journalism major, crime reporter, and film and TV critic at Entertainment Weekly became one of the most popular authors writing today. Guest Host and founder of the The National Writers Series Doug Stanton fulfills the mission of bringing to life great conversations with today's best-selling authors in this sold out event. Recorded April 25, 2013 at the City Opera House, Traverse City, MI.

    Gillian is witty, engrossing, exciting. The tone of her voice easily creates her innovative ideas with exactly the same amount of tension, mystery and suspence which her words convey. She is very complicated and in Gone Girl, Amy seems to be equally as inventive and formidable!

    Big thanks to The National Writers Series for this wonderful one hundred minute talk with Gillian Flynn. This was a real treat. Unlike the majority of novelists, Gillian Flynn is just a brilliant and funny public speaker.

    Gillian has some patience. The amount of times the host calls her book "dark spaces" is terrible

      This host and the person who introduced them are both 😖😖😖
      I would have preferred if Gillian just monologued.

    After reading Gone Girl - prefer to read the books picked up for movies and then MAY check out the film interpretation, I quickly rushed out to by Dark Places and Sharp Objects and love Gillian's writing - cannot wait for the next book - she is a very clever writer.

    what was with that boston bombing question? what about her work made him think she'd write about that??

  • @mFan4me
    @mFan4me 11 лет назад +2

    If you don't like that, then avoid her other book "Dark Places" at all costs lol. I've read many books in the horror/thriller/mystery genres and I have never read a more disturbing book than Dark Places. it happens to be my favorite of hers though.

  • @truemvp27
    @truemvp27 10 лет назад +12

    Why did he keep trying to inject his political views & foreign/domestic policy issues into this discussion? It was pretty distracting and took away from what I would've much rather have been listening to. (i.e. Gillian talking about the books)

    She's really entertaining to listen to but the host...he is so distracted! It's pretty annoying. This interview could go so much better with a better host.

  • @CroMarduk

    I've just read two of her books "Sharp objects" and "Gone girl", and even though the books are interesting, its obvious that the author is a bit disturbed individual. There is not one carachter in this two books that's not deranged or disturbed in some way.

    • @mikemars2112

      They could just enjoy writing about disturbed people because they're more interesting than non-disturbed people.

    Damnation that is one long evening.
    I've never heard someone fake laugh so much at their own jokes. Is it nerves?
    One hour and 40 min. and no mention made of the outrageous misogyny in GG. Always love to read female characters call each other 'bitches'. So edgy.
    Apart from just not being well written, as the reading as the end so ably illustrates, the book fails the #1 reader test for fiction of non-f. There is no one in GG to root for. There is no one to care about. Everybody is a dirtball.
    'Psycho' indeed.

    • @mikemars2112
      @mikemars2112 3 года назад +3

      Yeah, yours is a hot take. And yes, some women call other women bitches-that's life, not edge. And you don't need someone to root for in a work of fiction.
