The reader dives into intense scenes of reflection, a choice between the responsibility of friendship and conscience. In the center of the plot — a girl trying to solve the murder of her brother, which happened many years ago. After the son's death, parents split up, and the care of Harriet the central character is taken up by her relatives. All her life, she is obsessed with the idea of revenge on an unknown killer, and she gets her childhood friend to help her find the guy.
The plan does not lead to anything good. According to the reviewers, Tartt managed to write an intense story with incredible plot twists, bright characters, a complex personality of the main character and accurately conveyed the atmosphere of a small town of the 60s.
After the publication, the writer said that she had enough ready-made material for another five books. In , Goldfinch was published. The novel uses already tried and tested technique — a tragedy that happened in the past. The plot revolves around a teenager Theodore who together with his mother found himself in the middle of a terrorist attack in the Metropolitan Museum. Fulfilling the request of a dying visitor to save the canvas of the 17th century, the boy takes, and, in fact, steals a work of art.
Fourteen years later, Theo tries to find out whether there is a link between the girlfriend of the deceased man, whom he had seen on that tragic day at the Museum, and the painting.
The publisher, anticipating the coming out of the book, described it as the history of the relationship of a young man who survived the death of his mother, tormented by guilt, and the power that draws him into the real world of crime and corruption.
One of the rules of life of Tartt says that lone wolves are engaged in writing. Perhaps that is why she has no children and no husband, or maybe, another fact of her biography is to blame - the hard divorce of her parents.
And the fate of the housewife, as Donna said in an interview with Esquire, is the worst nightmare she can imagine. Fortunately, the best-selling author has so far managed to avoid the rumors of non-traditional orientation, which tend to arise around women who avoid close contact with men.
When Donna is asked if she plans to have a family at all, the writer answers in French, "Je ne vais jamais me marier," which means "I will never get married. Now a dog named Luther keeps her company on a ranch in Virginia. According to Donna, there are a lot more to write about in a friendship combined with adventures than in romantic relationships.
Photos of the slim brunette Donna is 5 feet 67 inches tall, and she weighs pounds who prefers to look smart and elegant, rarely appear on the pages of Online editions of famous magazines.
The Guardian in included Tartt in the top ten most stylish people in the world. The author herself does not like social media, and she doesn't have verified pages on Instagram and Facebook. Back in , the rights to the film adaptation of the Goldfinch were acquired by the film company RatPac Entertainment and Warner Bros.
However, for a long time, there was no news about the beginning of filming. In , Amazon joined Warner Brothers. The production part was entrusted to the author of the melodrama Brooklyn, the winner of the British Academy award John Crowley. And only in it became known that the shooting of the dramatic film, finally, began. There were complications with the cast too.
Donna's agent Amanda Urban made a fantastic deal by literary standards. To the surprise of colleagues, after that, the writer terminated her contract. The dissatisfaction of Tartt is caused by the fact that she did not get the opportunity to write a script or become a film producer. So the characters in your copy of the book are going to look and sound different than in mine. And then I begin the long process of disengaging. It was , and the year-old Tartt had finally finished the novel—about a group of five students at a fictional Vermont college who were complicit in the murder of a friend—which she had started while a student at Bennington College.
A mysterious and haunting psychological thriller, it captures the various ways a person can unravel. The Secret History has become a classic. Tartt was raised in Grenada, Mississippi, about miles south of Memphis. She grew up with her mother, sister, and grandparents she was estranged from her father ; her family had been among the first settlers in the town. While the novels indicate an intimacy with certain kinds of privilege, Tartt says she did not have a fancy upbringing.
Tartt always knew she would be a writer. She credits 19th-century novels with teaching her how to write, and she lists Dickens, Stevenson, Conrad, Wodehouse, and Nabokov among her favorite authors. There, Tartt immediately hit it off with fellow student Bret Easton Ellis over their mutual love of Joan Didion, and Ellis ultimately introduced her to Urban, who represented him.
Tartt consents to reveal a bit about her process, which is layered with elaborate stages of research, one of the reasons it takes her so long to produce her books. With The Little Friend , even before the story took shape, there was that dark, dank Mississippi mood. And The Secret History was much the same: It began for me with winter, cold. Moving from Mississippi to Vermont was a big change for me; Vermont was a haunting, snowy place.
Tartt logs months and years inside libraries, and visits and revisits the places her books are set in. She has a notebook on her at all times, so she can write down little bits of overheard conversation.
She keeps an elaborate filing system of descriptions and dialogue that she can draw on whenever she might need to. Please check the article again after few days. Who is Donna Tartt dating?
