From Author Gillian Flynn

You could state I concentrate on tough characters. Damaged, disturbed, or downright nasty. Personally, I enjoy every one of the misfits, losers, and castaways in my three novels. My supporting characters are meth tweakers, truck-stop strippers, backwoods grifters ...

But it's my narrators who are the real difficulty.

In Sharp Objects, Camille Preaker is a sub-par reporter fresh from a stay at a psychiatric healthcare facility. She's an alcoholic. She's got impulse issues. She's also exceptionally lonely. Her buddy is her employer. When she goes back to her home town to investigate a youngster murder, she parks down the street from her mother's residence "so about seem less obtrusive." She has no sense of whom to trust, and this results in disaster.

Camille is cut off from the world however would rather not be. In Dark Places, storyteller Libby Day is boldy lonesome. She grows her isolation. She lives off a trust fund established for her as a youngster when her household was massacred; she isn't really particularly grateful for it. She's a phony, a manipulator, a kleptomaniac. "I have a meanness inside me, actual as a body organ," she warns. "Draw a picture of my soul and it 'd be a scribble with fangs." Libby's first instinct is to kick them in their shins if Camille is overly grateful when people want to befriend her.

In those very first 2 books, I discovered the geography of loneliness-- and the devastation it can result in. With Gone Woman, I desired to go the opposite direction: what takes place when 2 individuals link their lives totally. I wanted to discover the geography of intimacy-- and the destruction it can result in. Marital relationship gone poisonous.

Gone Girl opens on the celebration of Amy and Nick Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. (Exactly how charming.) Amy disappears under very disturbing scenarios. (Less charming.) Nick and Amy Dunne were the gold couple when they initially started their courtship. Soul mates. They can complete each other's sentences, guess each other's reactions. They might push each other's buttons. They are clever, captivating, gorgeous, as well as egotistical, self-seeking, and terrible.

They complete each other-- in an extremely harmful way.
