Words are like a road map to reporter Camille Preaker’s troubled past. Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, Camille’s first assignment from the second-rate daily paper where she works brings her reluctantly back to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls.
Words are like a road map to reporter Camille Preaker’s troubled past. Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, Camille’s first assignment from the second-rate daily paper where she works brings her reluctantly back to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls.
NASTY on her kneecap, BABYDOLL on her leg
Since she left town eight years ago, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed again in her family’s Victorian mansion, Camille is haunted by the childhood tragedy she has spent her whole life trying to cut from her memory.
HARMFUL on her wrist, WHORE on her ankle
As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.
With its taut, crafted writing, Sharp Objects is addictive, haunting, and unforgettable.

有声英文版。故事线还不错,黑暗压抑,可是人物形象实在不是我喜欢的风格。虽然我能理解女主的成长环境决定了她日后的性格,但是还是喜欢不了。

前半本太拖沓。相比之下美剧视觉化做得还挺不错。

看Gillian Flynn的照片:眉清目秀、大家闺秀;但看完她的小说,每个人都会倒抽一口冷气,她脑中怎会有这么多扭曲的人物和心理?出道三本书,奠定一个女作家的江湖地位,而且不例外,<Gone Girl>电影珠玉在前,<Sharp Objects>被改编为HBO剧,所以一定是3-1-2反过来看的。而我偏偏想顺着看,因为这样才能看清一个作家的创作心路。第一本书果然就禀赋非凡:气氛营造、人物塑造和心理... 看Gillian Flynn的照片:眉清目秀、大家闺秀;但看完她的小说,每个人都会倒抽一口冷气,她脑中怎会有这么多扭曲的人物和心理?出道三本书,奠定一个女作家的江湖地位,而且不例外,<Gone Girl>电影珠玉在前,<Sharp Objects>被改编为HBO剧,所以一定是3-1-2反过来看的。而我偏偏想顺着看,因为这样才能看清一个作家的创作心路。第一本书果然就禀赋非凡:气氛营造、人物塑造和心理描绘,都有一种让人欲罢不能的神秘吸引力,keeps you reading on,甘心沉醉于她文字的毒中:诡异的Wind Gap小镇、Victorian式房屋、自残、文字、回忆、少年残酷、变态的性、各色人物的登场和暗色故事,女记者的身份进入和被卷其中成为参与者。犹如这酷暑般烦躁、黏连和压抑。 (展开)

远没有gone girl的干净锋利的解构好看,但作为她第一本书,那种厌世无爱的基调已经建立。
