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.

评分 评分仿佛西奥跌跌撞撞地成长一样,我这《金翅雀》也看得跌跌撞撞的。 买来的时候,号称是一本读来就手不释卷的小说,还担心看的太投入而搁置书柜那么久,却并不如当年《基督山伯爵》那样酣畅淋漓——当然,《基督山伯爵》应该是阅读起来最不费脑子,却又华丽雄阔以及异域风情的一...

It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a thirteen-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.
As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love-and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.
The Goldfinch combines vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and suspense, while plumbing with a philosopher's calm the deepest mysteries of love, identity, and art. It is an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the ruthless machinations of fate.
一人一句的对话的确很多 前面七八十页过去了孩子还没从博物馆里逃出来…… 但有趣的是 这书就让人很想读下去
评分Such vivid characters, such imaginative story telling.
评分用了三周时间听完,好久没有这样沉浸在一部小说里,象看一幅old master painting,无数美妙细节。鲍里斯这个人物象哈克贝利费恩,这本书可以读出马克吐温,读出狄更斯,读出普鲁斯特,唐娜塔特和所有这些人并肩站立绝不逊色,她虽然偷师他们但自有独到处。最后结尾简直一浪高过一浪,我在凌晨听完,不住流泪,疯狂想念那些在我生命里留下过印迹不亚于亲人的物件,油画里的手和脚,青铜的肩背。也洞见自己内心的瘾君子和赌徒,恍悟我与这些飞车驶向深渊的人之亲缘甚至亲密。
评分2015/3/12 昏暗的地下室,死亡证书,法庭文件,翻看着一个家族的历史... 也听完了这本欠债已久的Goldfinch. 看的时候常常不知道会被故事和命运带到什么地方去,但是好像那并不重要,因为好的文学本身并不需要任何目的抑或使命。书合上时泪水也涌了上来。有些故事结束虽美,但是美得费力。而这个结局却让人从抽象和直白的语言中看到了笨拙,因此诚恳。我多么渴望去爱 - “It is a glory and a privilege to love what Death doesn’t touch.” 三十,五十年前,翻阅这些地下室文件,是谁的手?这些被珍藏的卡片和纸条,是为了几十年后再一次被我看到吗?那么我是否在这一切的错误和痛苦的真实中因为见证了爱而获得了一秒的永生?
评分花了三个礼拜啃完。八百多页,读的过程像生了一场大病,病透了,无药可吃,沉到地下,慢慢攒够力气,自己好了,也可能是喝了一场大酒,三杯下肚马上茫了,恍惚中依稀记得碰了不少杯,走了一点心,越喝人越少,直到天色渐渐亮了,一个人清醒过来,感觉身体沉重但心灵通透…故事很短,但细节很长。不然怎么说的清灾难,悲恸,艺术,失去和复得,爱和救赎?我不觉得作者啰嗦,长有长的道理,厚书有厚书的好看。
