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.
合上第545页(最后一页),我就那么呆呆地坐在餐桌前(一个人的晚餐后我一口气读完最后几十页),回忆自己成长中的那些精神领袖和不是本我的行为表现,如同书中所说,美,是残酷的。 《校园秘史》由美国作家唐娜·塔特所著,胡金涛翻译,人民文学出版社出版,被美国亚马逊评为...
评分文/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,...
评分 评分这本书我看了中文版之后,又在网上订购了英文平装版和精装版 我因为这本书对“重现经典”系列很有好感 回想起这本书脑子里会回放处他们在弗朗西斯家的别墅的那段。每次看到这段我心中都会隐隐不安,或者说我在看书的前半部时都是隐隐不安,原因大概就是朱利安在课上所说的...
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...
小卷推荐~ 悬疑与古典文化这样的题材我喜欢!纠结要不要先看同是小卷推荐的the Fountainhead最终还是选择这本。各种在线版本均有错别字非常闹心。因这本DL了电脑和瘦鸡的mobi阅读器现在看得好舒心~对比亚马逊mobi版我才发现网上其他版本的错误是如此离谱!男猪家乡Plano硬是被弄成Piano!我还奇怪加州怎么有个叫Piano的地方!这群孩纸除了吃喝玩乐偶尔杀个人然后纠结一番就没其他事了啊。。不过故事还是很引人入胜让我放不下来。Francis亲Richard看得我狼血沸腾!看了就放不下来,虽然期间一度对越来越靡费混沌的纠结有点乏味,但还是想快快看到结局,所以用了两三天就看完了。确实是一个残酷青春物语,语言流畅简明没有想象中难。
评分heartbroken. 感覺她的書都很film/tv/stage...script-ready 這本尤其適合被拍成電視劇
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brilliant~
