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.
《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...
评分有人说,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...
评分毫不夸张地说,在每个人的内心深处,都存在一段只属于自己的青春秘史,那或许是暧昧而未知的粉红色,也许是迷乱而痛苦的灰色,也许是忧伤淡淡的天蓝色,也可能以上兼而有之,但是如唐娜•塔特笔下那古典与现代兼具,痛苦与美丽同在,如极光一般令人惊艳迷乱的校园时光...
评分 评分看完有点不知道说什么。。看前80%的时候感觉这是历史系男生+天才雷普利+达芬奇密码+悲剧的诞生,而且哪个主题都只点到为止,最后10%有点意思。。。但我还是觉得其实把课堂的比重放多一点会更好。。我再想想。。这个书可读性蛮强吸引人一直往下看,但其实没达到我预期。。就是我感觉,比如命案发生之后,写得就很乱,而且没有真的触动到我,真正的大师手笔是in cold blood。。但金翅雀我今年会找机会读掉的。。
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。
评分有些书知道自己如果十年,或者五年前看一定会更加喜欢,想来不由感慨。
评分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。
