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.
文/夏丽柠 在美国文学界,女作家唐娜.塔特像神一样地存在。 唐娜生于1963年,现年53岁。可她出道二十多年,只完成了三部小说:《校园秘史》、《小友》和《金翅雀》。本本都近乎于十年磨一剑。且不说,每本小说都是扬扬洒洒几十万字的大部头。最关键的是,每本书出版的时候,...
評分 評分 評分和挪威森林幾乎異麯同工也是繼其以來第一本強烈撼動到我的小說,感覺讀多少遍都不夠。與挪相比,情節更具戲劇性也更加殘酷和沉重。但是相比之下缺陷也比較明顯,例如為瞭構建一個非同尋常的故事而去刻意設定一群非同尋常的角色,還有為謀殺bunny的一套自圓其說:既然貫穿整本小說,死亡一直帶著一點超自然的色彩,那麼花這麼多篇幅去鋪墊bunny之死就有些不必要和過於拖遝。但是與挪相比,小說的結尾必然超過瞭前者。雖然各帶著東西方迥然不同的文化色彩,兩本小說講的是同一個故事。但是secret history更加清晰地揭露瞭青春逐步剝落、走嚮毀滅的過程。
评分I was disappointed after reading this 500-page novel. A good novel, in my view, needs to contain vivid images that the readers can actually “see”, or to delve into the most intricate parts of human heart that the reader can actually “feel”. But this novel failed to achieve both of them.
评分讀瞭開頭之後放瞭很久纔補完。非常喜歡的調調,以至於我的tinder profile很長時間都放瞭一句‘Cubitum eamus?’
评分almost(or sadly it is indeed)phenomenal
评分所以最後男主愛的還是...啊
