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.
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...
評分合上第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...
評分讀起來覺得相當繁復,然而故事卻緩緩展開,雖然早已知道瞭結局,卻要不停探究原由。那些扭麯的,不潔的,罪惡的,神秘的,隱藏在黑紗之下。
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。

评分作者描寫和布局的功力堪稱大牛。可惜故事隻在前五分之一明亮瞭一陣,後麵一路陰暗下去,雖然是情節需要,看完不免有點鬱悶。
