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.

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.
读了一年的书,从去年畅销到现在,断断续续一点一点看完了这本书,Theo的曲折命运中那一段拉斯维加斯的生活以及搭greyhound返回纽约的部分最好看。看英文原版的好处就是可以体味到作者的语言魅力

评分想不通这怎么就成了best book of the year,节奏真是吃不消,看得太累人了。不过Donna Tartt的文笔确实不错。最后的大段内心独白让我相信了这是十年磨一剑的书。光从故事的进展来看,我最多给两星。
评分long winded
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)
