Who knew that Gilllian was pronounced with a "hard" G? According to Guardian reporter, Oliver Burkeman, maybe it's fitting. Click the link below to read his most excellent article on the talented writer. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/may/01/gillian-flynn-bestseller-gone-girl-misogyny ...
Now nominated for the Women's Prize for fiction, Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl isn't going anywhere soon. If you loved this book, like me, you want to know more about its author; you're dying to know what makes Ms. Flynn write about, well...
