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.
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...
評分有人说,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...
評分说实话,大约是因为对西方古典文化缺乏常识,我一度以为自己完全没有看懂这部小说。所以,当翻过最后一页,本来准备睡觉的我彻底清醒了。要不是强烈的心理暗示,怕是真的要失眠了,直到我能够为这本书写下点什么。 这是我辞职后阅读完毕的第一本小说,延续了从小在语...
評分 評分毫不夸张地说,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...
三年前被the goldfinch騙到紐約,現在想想如果當時看的是這本,沒準也就下定決心去文理學院瞭。Donna Tartt文筆驚人,一段寫山間霧氣的描寫把我弄哭瞭。發現她念的是Bennington之後我嚇得差點停止瞭呼吸,不知道書裏的故事有多少可能真實發生過。象牙塔倒塌,幻夢破碎,我們迴到庸常又痛苦的人生。(想推薦給林奕含呢,如果她還活著—不過我也不認識人傢。)
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?’
评分小捲推薦~ 懸疑與古典文化這樣的題材我喜歡!糾結要不要先看同是小捲推薦的the Fountainhead最終還是選擇這本。各種在綫版本均有錯彆字非常鬧心。因這本DL瞭電腦和瘦雞的mobi閱讀器現在看得好舒心~對比亞馬遜mobi版我纔發現網上其他版本的錯誤是如此離譜!男豬傢鄉Plano硬是被弄成Piano!我還奇怪加州怎麼有個叫Piano的地方!這群孩紙除瞭吃喝玩樂偶爾殺個人然後糾結一番就沒其他事瞭啊。。不過故事還是很引人入勝讓我放不下來。Francis親Richard看得我狼血沸騰!看瞭就放不下來,雖然期間一度對越來越靡費混沌的糾結有點乏味,但還是想快快看到結局,所以用瞭兩三天就看完瞭。確實是一個殘酷青春物語,語言流暢簡明沒有想象中難。
评分動人心魄。
