[Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn]
latest #14
this is the airport fiction I said I was going to read last time...
something like 10 chapters through, and I will just say that
I expected this to be pretty standard "bestselling thriller of the week"
but it's narrated by two bad writers.
one thinks he's hot shit, one isn't really a real writer and still thinks she's hot shit
and then all the overly dramatic and artsy phrases become HILARIOUS when you realize this.
this is a quick and easy way to cover up your own flaws in writing...NO NEVER DO THIS
but yeah, I think it's actually intentional that these two are aware of their own narration and make it more deceptive that way
also to be horribly self-referential
this story is pretty much what happens if Kizawa and Sousan somehow managed to get married.
this is a terrible idea and at least one of them will die.
Oh dear
I WILL BE DISAPPOINTED OTHERWISE OK.
SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT FOR YOU ;D
