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.
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.
一个如《死亡诗社》中描绘的课堂世界,阁楼上隐居的希腊语老师,会为了一句“我爱柏拉图”而对你改变态度,六个人的小课堂,精神自由徜徉的小天地,却没有人人站到桌子上的诗意自由,有的只是五个人杀死另外一个人,一个人又自杀的现实悲剧。 保守而暴力的父母,势力的社会土...
评分 评分16年底,在北京的雾霾天里,笔者读完了这本小说。当时是因为据说这本书影响了很多的美国青年,好奇心驱使,便偷得浮生半日闲读完了原版。 故事太吸引人,但暂时还不讲故事。就想分享一下,介绍怎样才能不辜负一本让人废寝忘食的好书作为教科书的作用 (以下内容最初发表于笔者...

评分《告白》,东野圭吾和《校园秘史》:一个又一个的杀人事件 最近看了若干日本相关的小说、电影和电视剧,在惊叹于作者想象力和写作能力的同时,也觉得日本青年真是生活在水深火热的大熔炉里,仿佛灵魂都被攫取了一样,生命的意义只剩下杀人了。 首先是《告白》。这部片子让我...
读起来觉得相当繁复,然而故事却缓缓展开,虽然早已知道了结局,却要不停探究原由。那些扭曲的,不洁的,罪恶的,神秘的,隐藏在黑纱之下。
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almost(or sadly it is indeed)phenomenal
评分三年前被the goldfinch骗到纽约,现在想想如果当时看的是这本,没准也就下定决心去文理学院了。Donna Tartt文笔惊人,一段写山间雾气的描写把我弄哭了。发现她念的是Bennington之后我吓得差点停止了呼吸,不知道书里的故事有多少可能真实发生过。象牙塔倒塌,幻梦破碎,我们回到庸常又痛苦的人生。(想推荐给林奕含呢,如果她还活着—不过我也不认识人家。)
