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...
评分我得说这个中文译名拉低了整部小说的层次,搞得好像个网络言情或者艳情小说一样。原书的英文名The Secret History还是相当拉风的,正如书的封面上那个不知名的希腊雕塑一样,神秘暗黑的风格弥漫了当时的全美畅销书榜。 这是本书作者Donna Tartt的处女作,主要内容是讲述者Rich...

评分 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.
评分当代文学中罕见的详尽无遗的线性叙事,气宗。
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(1992) R4 read by William Hope. 呃 大家读的是一本书么 还是我老了 什么青春校园残酷物语
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。
