I always like to read two books at once and this summer I’ve got Will Self’s PsychoGeography and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History on the go. I find Tartt’s novel an antidote to the Will Self, parts of which I don’t really understand. I don’t know if Source: scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com Corporate Social Responsibility - CSR [...]

I'm having a lazy day today, finishing off reading (again!) one of my favourite novels, The Secret History by Donna Tartt. It's an intriguing tale of university classics students driven to murder one of their own, a student by the moniker of Bunny. I'm not giving away anything by saying this, this fact is given away on the first page of the prologue, but it got me to thinking, who would play the characters...

“The Sister” is powered by the same sort of confidently rendered literary suspense that propelled Donna Tartt’s “The Secret History” onto best-seller lists.

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” — Gore Vidal (pictured) “It’s hard for me to show work while I’m writing, because other people’s comments will influence what happens. You have to be very, very careful.” — Donna Tartt “Books are not people. They are never [...]

Blood in the Parlor by Dorothy Dunbar (1964) While half the fun of the Zombie Summer Reading Program is finding the weird books yourself, when the recommendation comes from Donna Tartt, it's worth following up on. A recent Village Voice feature asked writers to list their favorite obscure books , and while there were many fine contributions, Tartt's caught my eye: My mother has had this book since...

When I ask Donna Tartt for her autograph she reaches in her bag and extracts one of dozens of golf balls. She then takes out a marker pen and signs it "Tiger Woods - 11th May 2008" - she then says "As I am aware that you only wanted to auction my autograph on ebay - you can sell this instead perfectly legally as a golf ball signed by a famous person!" Then she starts on muttering about Doris Lessing...

Fiction - hardcover; Headline Review; 352 pages; 2007. REVIEW COPY. The last time I read a campus novel was probably Donna Tartt's The Secret History way back in 1993. I'd forgotten about the closed world of the university campus, in which students seem perpetually at loggerheads with the academic staff.
