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.
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,...
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...
評分一个如《死亡诗社》中描绘的课堂世界,阁楼上隐居的希腊语老师,会为了一句“我爱柏拉图”而对你改变态度,六个人的小课堂,精神自由徜徉的小天地,却没有人人站到桌子上的诗意自由,有的只是五个人杀死另外一个人,一个人又自杀的现实悲剧。 保守而暴力的父母,势力的社会土...
評分 評分沒本事的人纔把自己生活搞成青春劇。
评分看完有點不知道說什麼。。看前80%的時候感覺這是曆史係男生+天纔雷普利+達芬奇密碼+悲劇的誕生,而且哪個主題都隻點到為止,最後10%有點意思。。。但我還是覺得其實把課堂的比重放多一點會更好。。我再想想。。這個書可讀性蠻強吸引人一直往下看,但其實沒達到我預期。。就是我感覺,比如命案發生之後,寫得就很亂,而且沒有真的觸動到我,真正的大師手筆是in cold blood。。但金翅雀我今年會找機會讀掉的。。
评分老王跑瞭三個大書店幫我帶的可亞馬遜就有深深愧疚。。。【話說剛開始是被hubris般的獻祭感吸引過去的可是為啥看到後麵是本青少年成長小說呢【而且古希臘語真的能這麼方便地作為犯罪工具來交流嘛【雖然看起來有模有樣
评分和挪威森林幾乎異麯同工也是繼其以來第一本強烈撼動到我的小說,感覺讀多少遍都不夠。與挪相比,情節更具戲劇性也更加殘酷和沉重。但是相比之下缺陷也比較明顯,例如為瞭構建一個非同尋常的故事而去刻意設定一群非同尋常的角色,還有為謀殺bunny的一套自圓其說:既然貫穿整本小說,死亡一直帶著一點超自然的色彩,那麼花這麼多篇幅去鋪墊bunny之死就有些不必要和過於拖遝。但是與挪相比,小說的結尾必然超過瞭前者。雖然各帶著東西方迥然不同的文化色彩,兩本小說講的是同一個故事。但是secret history更加清晰地揭露瞭青春逐步剝落、走嚮毀滅的過程。
评分有些書知道自己如果十年,或者五年前看一定會更加喜歡,想來不由感慨。
