Ep-53 Sharp Objects (2006 novel) chapters 9-16

The sordid mysteries of the Wind Gap murders and Camille
Preaker’s tragic past begin to reveal themselves in these eight
chapters from Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects. Luke and James have
seen half of the HBO series starring Amy Adams and compare their
experience with the show to what they get in the novel. This
coverage does not include the final 2 chapters of the book, so
all has not yet been revealed.


 


Topics include: The role of Camille’s scars in the book, the
value of different perspectives in fiction, the differences in
detective Richard Willis in the book, the awfulness of Adora, the
games a talented mystery writer can play, OxyContin abuse, Amma’s
insane tolerance, cycles of abuse passed on through the
generations, John and Camille’s relationship, and Camille’s
gambit to expose her mother.


 


THE PLAN: In episode 51 the guys cover chapters 1-8, in ep. 52
they cover episodes 1-4 of the TV show, then this week swing back
to the novel for chapters 9-16, then next week will cover
episodes 5-7 of the show, then finish up with a combination book
and film episode covering the final two chapters and the finale
of the TV series. 5 podcast episodes in total.
