Donna Tartt is an American writer who received critical acclaim for her first two novels, The Secret History and The Little Friend, which have been translated into thirty languages. Tartt was the 2003 winner of the WH Smith Literary Award for The Little Friend. Her novel The Goldfinch won the Pulitzer Prize in 2014.
The daughter of Don and Taylor Tartt, she was born in Greenwood, Mississippi but raised 32 miles away in Grenada, Mississippi. At age five, she wrote her first poem, and she first saw publication in a Mississippi literary review at age 13.
Enrolling in the University of Mississippi in 1981, she pledged to the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma. Her writing caught the attention of Willie Morris while she was a freshman. Following a recommendation from Morris, Barry Hannah, then an Ole Miss Writer-in-Residence, admitted Tartt into his graduate short story course where, stated Hannah, she ranked higher than the graduate students. Following the suggestion of Morris and others, she transferred to Bennington College in 1982, where she was friends with fellow students Bret Easton Ellis, Jill Eisenstadt, and Jonathan Lethem. At Bennington she studied classics with Claude Fredericks.
She divides her time between Virginia and New York City.
Truly deserving of the accolade a modern classic, Donna Tartt’s novel is a remarkable achievement—both compelling and elegant, dramatic and playful.
Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and forever, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.
有人说,唐娜•塔特的小说写得太长。 也是。唐娜•塔特是一个很笨的作家,总是用10年来完成一本小说。1963年生人的她,至今问世的只有三本书,《金翅雀》、《校园秘史》和《小友》。其中,两本译成了中文,《金翅雀》和《校园秘史》。《金翅雀》600多页,《校园秘史》500多...

评分和挪威森林几乎异曲同工也是继其以来第一本强烈撼动到我的小说,感觉读多少遍都不够。与挪相比,情节更具戏剧性也更加残酷和沉重。但是相比之下缺陷也比较明显,例如为了构建一个非同寻常的故事而去刻意设定一群非同寻常的角色,还有为谋杀bunny的一套自圆其说:既然贯穿整本小说,死亡一直带着一点超自然的色彩,那么花这么多篇幅去铺垫bunny之死就有些不必要和过于拖沓。但是与挪相比,小说的结尾必然超过了前者。虽然各带着东西方迥然不同的文化色彩,两本小说讲的是同一个故事。但是secret history更加清晰地揭露了青春逐步剥落、走向毁灭的过程。
评分学术女冷艳高贵的调调啊,最喜欢了。我看过最好的coming-of-age小说。
评分almost(or sadly it is indeed)phenomenal
评分老王跑了三个大书店帮我带的可亚马逊就有深深愧疚。。。【话说刚开始是被hubris般的献祭感吸引过去的可是为啥看到后面是本青少年成长小说呢【而且古希腊语真的能这么方便地作为犯罪工具来交流嘛【虽然看起来有模有样
评分作者描写和布局的功力堪称大牛。可惜故事只在前五分之一明亮了一阵,后面一路阴暗下去,虽然是情节需要,看完不免有点郁闷。
