Franzen Comes Alive: A Playlist for GONE GIRL
Franzen Comes Alive is a series of book-related playlists.
Here’s a playlist of songs I immediately think of when I think about Gone Girl. SPOILER ALERT: The song selections definitely give plot points of the book away – if you haven’t read it yet 1) OMG what are you waiting for? and 2) You may want to steer clear until then.
I’d love to hear what songs you’d put in the playlist. Also, as usual, it’s not all that safe for work.
