I can tell you two things after reading Gillian Flynn’s “Sharp Objects.” First, if you say that a character is left handed, like all geniuses, I will flag that page. Second, Flynn remains someone I would not want to end up with in a dark room.

Some of us have a much easier time growing up than others. That’s not a startling revelation, but it’s good to be reminded of that from time to time as we go through the world and encounter people whose experience with this world is very different from our own.
