Magi Merlin (MADGE-eye) grew up in Saint-Lazare, Canada. A place that may sound unfamiliar to you, but rest assured it is much closer to home than you think. A wet dream created by people like Nixon in the 70s, a place for white people, by white people. The suburbs are the epitome of "normal", unless of course you replace white with black, straight with queer, and that is when normalcy is challenged. This, along with other themes - such as the impact of capitalism on art, nepotism, the relationship one has with the pleasure of belonging to these things while rejecting them all - is what drives and inspires the creative universe behind Gone Girl, Merlin's latest and most audacious effort to date.
