DONNA TARTT: PROFILE Friday 22 August 2003 7.30pm-8pm "If I could write a book a year and maintain the same quality, I'd be happy. But I don't think I'd have any fans." Decade of Silence Thus Donna Tartt explains the decade of silence since her debut novel, The Secret History, made her the international literary sensation of 1992. Until the publication of her second book in October 2002, Tartt endured rumours of writer's block and nervous hermithood. But now that The Little Friend is safely in the bag, she says calmly, "it just took a while to write." Trying to meet readers' high expectations after The Secret History was never going to be easy, but Tartt wasn't intimidated by the search for a new idea. She said at the time, "I have my life to resort to." Mississippi childhood For The Little Friend, its author has dug deep into her southern background. Raised among the antebellum mansions of Grenada, Mississippi, Tartt experienced the shabby gentility of a changing south. Her extended family members were the stuff of Tennessee Williams and William Faulkner and, for Tartt, "books were the great escape". Fixated by Robert Louis Stevenson and Peter Pan, young Donna was taken on her own imaginative odyssey by her grandfather. A believer in the power of medicine, he fed his granddaughter codeine cough syrup, and much of her childhood was a "languorous undersea existence".

Podcasts FEATURES Murder in Mind An Interview With Donna Tartt By Therese Eiben Hear the rasp of sharpening knives? That's the sound critics make in anticipation of their ritual sophomore hazing of an author's second book. The reason it's unusually loud right now (a Benihana samurai chef convention comes to mind) is that Donna Tartt, whose second novel is about to be published by Knopf, has made her critics wait not the standard two, or even the occasional five, but ten whole years to slice into her magnum (truly; it's 555 pages) opus. Ten years ago (George Bush was prez) 28-year-old Tartt defied all reasonable expectations when The Secret History, her first novel, about a clique of culty classics majors who murder one of their own, sojourned for more than three months on the New York Times best-seller list.

38. DONNA TARTT In 1992, another 28year-old novelist, donna tartt, spellbound an equally affluent, equally troubled generation with her debut, The Secret History. http://www.arlindo-correia.com/081202.html

DONNA TARTT (n. 1963) The Secret History: Whatever happened to Donna Tartt? Published 10 years ago, 'The Secret History' was the most acclaimed first novel of the Nineties. But what happened to its author is an equally enthralling story. Boyd Tonkin reports on the strange case of Donna Tartt 21 May 2002 Not long before his booze-accelerated death in 1940, F Scott Fitzgerald wrote, "There are no second acts in American lives." Sometimes it seems hard enough for those US writers fêted in their glittering youth to finish a second novel, let alone the remainder of their time on earth. Youthful acclaim can block, rather than boost, creative energies. The author of The Great Gatsby – which was published when he was 28 – knew that hard truth more bitterly than most. In 1992, another 28-year-old novelist, Donna Tartt, spellbound an equally affluent, equally troubled generation with her debut, The Secret History Its succulent, calorific blend of Greek orgies, Gothic romance and artful campus comedy helped dig the grave of literary minimalism. Somehow twinning Brideshead Revisited with Euripides' The Bacchae , Tartt's irresistibly moody and florid yarn helped usher in a climate of doomy self-absorption, an attitude that combined Goth trappings with preppy manners. The book sparked a bidding war among publishers, spent 13 weeks on the

Possibly the association seems more important than it is since Tartt came to fame with a novel about a group of college students: The Secret History concerns an exclusive clique of Classics students who attempt to revive an ancient religious ritual, and are later driven to murder one of their own members.
