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Well. I finally finished the novel. I can totally see why people fall into two camps when it comes to their opinions about this book. Indeed I am torn myself— though I mostly did enjoy the novel, my enthusiasm was curbed by sporadic issues here and there....

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.
没读完就,不评价了。有声书版本的演出非常棒!如果觉得太厚,可以听有声书。"Dickensian"——这样的评论出现三次就应该警惕了。一想居然还买过她的The Secret History。文笔很不错的,怪不得那么多废话下来还有五星绝赞推荐。Alas, 主角的个性和处事方式就预示着后来的一路衰到底的发展,而个人对这类角色发展容忍度很低。此外,放在这个时代里,感觉很没有卵用,有种作者故意cripple主角的处理能力的感觉。还不如后退到没有电话和网络的时候,好让我不要纠结着干嘛不去google一下啊偶买噶!
评分阅读体验很一般。花了零碎的两个月时间读完的。有很冗长的描述,很多想表达的想法,但是总是不能击中我的心。有一种“多了”让人提不起劲儿来的感觉。最后小说进入了一种哲学思辨中,更是让人费解。总觉得,故事就该是故事的样子。
评分操你妈个逼,作者是以为搁谁都能写红楼梦吗?!!唉操!美国网红ins风格小说!别他妈做梦以为自己是男版林黛玉了!
评分终于tm看完了啊,有声书的朗读很棒了。拉斯维加斯那段段很美,Boris就像是一只午后慵懒的小狼狗,露出尖牙的时候也是笑咪咪的,太可爱了想揉他头发。作者在叙事和话痨之间走钢索,结尾太像磕高了写出来的了,我忍不住怀疑我到底看了些什么。(ps. Theo你莫不是个深柜吧)
评分I still love The Secret History more. But I truly enjoyed the journey Decker took me: central NY, the suburb in Vegas, and Christmas season Amsterdam. And with a large scale of characters, from NY elites to Russain drug dealers. About and with art. Nothing in Tartt's novel is two-dimensional. You just dive in and swim in the world she created.
