Velshi Banned Book Club: 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn - Velshi - MSNBC



On Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary, Nick arrives home to find that Amy has disappeared. There are signs of a struggle, and Nick, the hometown golden boy, quickly becomes the primary suspect – not just to the police but to millions of Americans following the case through the news.

Through alternative viewpoints and flashbacks, written as diary entries, we quickly learn that the reality is far more sinister and complex than anyone realizes. That is the plot of “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn. But you probably already know that. “Gone Girl” is a cultural phenomenon, beloved by millions of readers, and a genre-defining text. But despite the novel’s acclaim and literary merit, it has been pulled off of shelves in Florida and Tennessee. - Aired on 02/15/2025.

And my cousin now lives in Tennessee. She went to college in Western NC since our grandmother retired there and married a guy who was from Tennessee so they ended up moving there. Beautiful country!
