How Joyce Carol Oates and Gillian Flynn approach writing
National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Oates joins Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl, were here on Jun 17, 2025 for a reading and conversation between two masters of psychological suspense about Oates’ extraordinary career — and her gripping new novel, Fox. In this clip, they discuss different writing styles—from using multiple points of view in Gone Girl to using shifting perspectives to keep a novel from going stagnant. This is a fascinating and smart look at how two very different writers approach the same challenge: staying interested, and getting the work done.
